I think Laravel is a great framework. I just don't understand why the creator has to claim his ownership of the trademark "Laravel" on every page / documentation of the framework or anything that mentions the name. I mean Laravel is awesome, sure, but it's not some innovative piece of technology, like say the Linux kernel is. It is just another PHP framework with pretty features.


It's just another web framework, Coca-Cola is just another sugar water drink, Calvin and Hobbes is just another comic and a Lamborghini Aventador is just another car.

"Just another" is a really easy thing to say when it's someone else's creation. And more importantly trademarks are not indicators of quality or innovation. He's the owner and he chose to put it in the footer. This doesn't seem like a big deal.
