Maybe to avoid the lawsuits they will call it Project That Must Not Be Named.

#5"Database" isn't entirely correct, its a distributed K/V store. Maybe its just me, but the word database implies a lot of additional functionality that Voldemort doesn't have.

According to wikipedia:
A database is a system intended to organize, store, and retrieve large amounts of data easily.
I don't think calling Voldemort is wholly inaccurate, but I suppose you could make the case that it doesn't do the system justice due to the connotation of the word database (which usually makes people think of a SQL database).

I just had my own run in with their legal department, so I would imagine its a matter of time.

Why though? This has nothing to do with Harry Potter. (Also I don't think copyright would be appropriate here, maybe trade marks? She doesn't have one.)

Perhaps you are thinking of a "Relational Database"?

Well, it's distributed until you kill all the nodes.
