      Are you saying they should just use lojban?

        Presumably they won’t get sued by IP (“intellectual property”) trolls.

            Perhaps you’re correct.

            I tried looking into copyright status of Lojban and found nothing.

            I’m pretty sure wp:Láadan was released into the public domain.

            Láadan word for “queen.”

              Fwiw, the passport office also backtracked. But now I have a new Internet rabbit hole, so thanks for that!
