The hard part is search engine ranking.
- jlgaddis 8y agoAnd that little issue with trademarks: https://filezilla-project.org/trademark_policy.php https://filezilla-project.org/trademark_policy.php
- Digital-Citizen 8y agoThis is also a non-issue as long demonstrated by Debian and GNU when they distributed Firefox and Thunderbird derivatives under different names with different logos. The section of that page under "Modifications" is quite clear on what needs to be done. Please don't try to invent non-existing difficulties. I realize HN is demonstrably averse to any serious discussion which centers on the importance of software freedom for its own sake but that's no reason to reject leveraging software freedom to improve one's own lot or help others.
- Digital-Citizen 8y agoThat's a non-sequitur and not difficult: make the derivative, publish the derivative, and continue to publish the derivative without malware. You'll establish a history people can trust and earn users and search engine rankings in time.
