I wholeheartedly agree Chief. Gulfstream rarely to never licenses out 3rd party products bearing their name and are quick to take anyone to court who ignores their lawyers cease & desist warnings. I saw a case where they sued a pilot (who happened to be type rated on a GIIB) who promoted Gulfstream Aircraft via a social media screen name but the company (Gulfstream) claimed the pilot was promoting their aviation company with the Gulfstream trademark. The whole thing was viewed as being a ridiculous & overzealous move by the company and was quietly settled out of court. Oh well, maybe one day they may change their minds.
As the saying goes, "Never say never." I will maintain hope that someday things might change. Of course I may not be around when it does, or my computer could quit working..... NC
I see that doesn't claim to be a particular aircraft by a specific manufacturer: very sensible! (otherwise you can be sure a cease-and-desist would have already landed) Looks a fine VC model.
Personally I don't see what all the hub-bub is all about. If someone wants to make a model in the confines of freeware there is nothing to stop it. Name it a Gulfscream or Golfstream and post it. There is nothing that can be done about it. Any protestations would have the burden of proof as a requirement.
If I were so inclined, I would not hesitate to build the model. Of course I would never consider something so pedestrian.

I wonder if this will protect them from the manufacturer of the original aircraft...
