Next Version of Mac OS X Could be Called 'Lynx'
Apple to continue tend of naming its OS after a feline.
Continuing Apple's trend of naming its operating systems after a feline, the next version of its Mac OS could be titled 'Lynx'.
The information derives from a "reliable source" who apparently spoke with someone inside Apple. The person viewed internal papers that suggests the company is finalizing the name of OS X 10.9. However, the source couldn't reveal when Apple will decide on the name or publicly reveal it.
To add credence to the report, Lynx appeared on the list of available names for OS X nearly a decade ago. Back in 2003, Apple trademarked several names for Mac OS including Lynx, Cougar, Leopard and Tiger.
AppleScoop believes Apple may unveil the name for OS X 10.9 at next year's Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Not much has been unveiled for the next Mac OS version, but Apple is said to be incorporating features from iOS. OS X 10.9 will apparently include voice assistant Siri, as well as Apple Maps support.

It'll be a dam good business.

***Had to click on this article just to see if it was actually as frivolous as I thought it would be.****
**** It was.
LynxOS?
Any other company that would suggest that the rumour isn't true. Apple though, probably means it is.
Feral???
The updates could be called: "Spayed" "Neutered" or "roadkill" too.
things in common:
they are cheap to make,
rather ineffective,
and contrary to adverts : repel women.
Sounds about right.

The GPL is a software license. It has nothing to do with branding or trademarks.
Only if your retarded enough to not understand trademarks. Hint: You can trademark the same name as long as it is in a different industry.
Here is more news... rumor has it that Microsoft's next OS will be Windows 9.
However, Microsoft Germany has indicated that a different naming will have to be considered for the German market as the English "9" would sound line the German word "nein"; meaning "no".
And who wants to upgrade to "Microsoft No" :-)
