Wow, pretty rude response by Azer. I get being anti-corporate and all, but there are human beings involved here. A more polite response might have gone a long way.
kik could have named it something like 'kik-api' or use a private namespace ('@kik/api'), but it seems like Azer just goaded them into a legal course of action.
- gnud 11y agoYes, there are human beings involved here. The sort that contact you out of the blue and tell you "I don't want to be a dick", and then threaten to have "our trademark lawyers [...] banging on your door and taking down your accounts and stuff like that ". And you think Azer is the one being rude?
- igorm 11y agoAzer's first response was polite enough: "Sorry, I’m building an open source project with that name." Pretty rude conversation has been started by Kik's guy Bob, when he answered back to previous message using such sentences as: > We don’t mean to be a dick about it ... > ... our trademark lawyers are going to be banging on your door and taking down your accounts and stuff like that All Azer's responses afterwards are totally acceptable and understandable. He is not one who started talking in that way.
