CyanogenMod’s Chronus clock widget renamed to “cLock” after getting hit with C&D letter

Well, that was quick. Last night the boys at CyanogenMod turned to the community to help with renaming their lockscreen clock widget — found on their popular custom ROM — after they were hit with a C&D letter (cease and desist) from someone claiming to own the rights to the name. Rather than get involved in any legal drama, the CM team decided to concede defeat and go ahead with renaming their clock widget. They posted the news on their Facebook and Google+ pages looking for new ideas and somewhere in the evening hours (when the team is apparently most active), they decided on “cLock.” You know, because it’s a clock widget for your lock screen (homescreen too). I thought it was clever.
