Man requests "podcast lice e"

In October, the Global Geek Podcast network became concerned about A le's cease and desist letters regarding the phrase "podcast". So podcast host Dave Gray wrote a letter to Steve Jo . In the letter, he included a check for AU$1 to cover any royalties for the use of the phrase.

This week, he received a reply from the A le Trademark Department. A le, according to this letter, does not object to third party use of the phrase podcast nor does it lice e the term.

A le also returned the check.
