Why is it called HylaFAX?

0

The name of this software package is “HylaFAX”, not “hylafax”, “Hylafax”, or anything else. Also, do not call this software by its old name “FlexFAX” because that name is a trademark of another fax product and the folks that own that trademark are possessive. Please also note that “HylaFAX” is a trademark of Silicon Graphics and it should be treated as such when used in documentation. Regarding the name, it is derived from the word hyla which is defined as “Any of a genus of (Hyla) of frogs, especially the tree frog.” Hence the logo found on the home page for this software. Finally, please recognize that this is free software that represents the work of many people. The section of “Acknowledgements” lists those people that have made significant contributions.
