A shame...

After doing some research using -- of course -- only public sources, the over-simplified explanation seems to be that products and services from "Hewlett Packard Enterprise" are allowed to use the "Hewlett Packard" name, and that products from "HP, Inc" can use only the "HP" initials and logo. (Are there a few exceptions they secretly agreed to?)

For the curious, the split happened in 2015; HPE got the "enterprise class" business (servers and software and big ethernet switches and stuff), and HPI got the personal products business (end-user PCs, printers, calculators, and stuff).

I still have no idea whether HPE is allowed or prohibited from using the circular "HP" logo.
