The Lotus naming thing is all done! Or so it seems. Both sides claiming victory.

Team Lotus gets to continue to use the name Team Lotus.
Group Lotus gets to continue to use Group Lotus, as well as Lotus (with no modifiers).

It looks like Group Lotus won more, but not the part about forcing Team Lotus to change their name, so they are appealing.

So... yeah. That clears it all up.
