I don't think the name 'Hal' falls within the scope of Copyright law, or even Trade-Mark law, since it is a common name, and not associated with any brand of computer technology. In any case, it is 'HalPromide' which is a unique name for a computer product.

Here are some names which might be problematic

IBMBasic
YamahaBasic
TeslaBasic (might be ok, thanks to Nicola Tesla)

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice.

I have found the source:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2001_A_Space_Odyssey_(1968)_-_Trailer.webm

It is not the movie that is in the public domain, but a trailer of 3 minutes, 32 seconds.

If someone has posted that on the internet, it must be true, right?
(source needed)

This movie was copyrighted in the US by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. in April, 3, 1968 (copyright number LP36136) and, of course, is not in the public domain.

"In the United States, motion pictures published before 1978 are copyrighted for 95 years. All motion pictures made and exhibited before 1929 are indisputably in the public domain in the United States. This date will move forward one year, every year, meaning that films released in 1929 will enter the public domain on New Year's Day 2025, films from 1930 on New Year's Day 2026, and so on."

@Frank Brübach
As a general hint: "American Culture" is never free, is generally only for commercial use. Thats the difference to for example german, or european culture.
In USA there is no "free lunch".
Therefore keeping away from american stars, idiots, logos, brands and generally anything from USA that is promoted, helps to save costs.

Hello all 👋

Made Last days for me an important Update of HalPromentBasic ...
I have changed some functions and Keywords.. its running all on a 64-bit machine now too

Halpromide Editor Shows at the start a Photo of the Stanley Kubrick film 2001 space odyssee because the hal Name belongs to this movie

**Can you Use Pictures from the Stanley Kubrick Film "2001: A Space Odyssey" in My Software? 🤔**

I have a question regarding the use of images and names from the classic Stanley Kubrick film "2001: A Space Odyssey" in my software. Specifically, I want to know if I can use single pictures from the movie and the name "HAL" without running into legal issues.

Here is the answer:
### Copyright on Images 📸

1. **Images from the Film**:
   - The film "2001: A Space Odyssey" is protected by copyright law. This includes any still images taken from the movie. You cannot legally use these images without permission from the copyright holder.
   - If you want to use images from the film, you would need to seek permission or license them from the rights holder, which is often the studio that produced the film (MGM or Warner Bros).

### Trademark on Names 🏷�

2. **Use of the Name "HAL"**:
   - The name "HAL" from the film is likely trademarked. Using it in your software could lead to trademark infringement issues, especially if it is used in a way that could cause confusion with the original character or brand.
   - To use the name "HAL" legally, you would need to check the trademark status and possibly seek permission from the trademark holder.

### Alternatives 💡

- **Public Domain or Licensed Images**: You could look for images that are in the public domain or available under a suitable license (such as Creative Commons) that explicitly allows commercial use.
- **Generic Names**: Instead of "HAL," you could create an original name for your software to avoid any trademark issues.

### Conclusion ✅

You should not use images from "2001: A Space Odyssey" or the name "HAL" in your software without proper licensing or permission. For a safe and legally sound approach, consider using public domain images and original names. If in doubt, consulting with a legal professional specialized in intellectual property law is recommended.

Hope this helps! 😊
