[ANN] gopkg.in/goracle.v2 renamed to github.com/godror/godror

[Tamás Gulácsi]

Oracle Trademark rules https://www.oracle.com/legal/trademarks.html does not allow "Oracle" or "Ora" in names not owned by Oracle.
The lawyers forbid "orcl", too. So I have to change the name.

Thanks for the great suggestions (https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/e1th8v/name_against_lawyers/ and https://twitter.com/tgulacsi/status/1199199720838778881),

the new names is "godror" (as Go Driver for Oracle) and the new home is github.com/godror/godror .

gopkg.in/goracle.v2 is deprecated, emptied - sorry for the inconvenience !

I would be surprised if they have a legal claim to "Ora" as well, otherwise the dental products "Orajell", and "OralB" are in trouble!!!

They probably do, but only for database-related products, or maybe for software in general. Trademarks are industry-specific.
