I think this is a bad move.
There is already:
SourceTree
SourceView
SourceForge
TheSource
SourceCode
SourceDaddy
OutSource
By adding more "Source", you are just diluting value of source brand.
It will be interesting to see how many more "Source" untill we stop using Source at all?
Same is the thing with "Git" and Docker escaped this issue by prohibiting use of "Docker" in non docker owned companies.

- humanrebar 8y agoAgreed. Taco Bell, Del Taco, Taco Cabana, Taco Bueno, Del Taco, Fuzzy's Tacos... and it keeps going.

- wccrawford 8y agoMy wife still misses Taco Tico, and every time I call some other restaurant that, she's incredibly disappointed. So yeah, there's more to branding than a single word of the name.
- lucideer 8y ago> you are just diluting value of source brand "Source" is not the brand, it's the literal description of what most (all?) of these products and services deal with. The prefixes/suffixes make the brand. Having a very relatable/descriptive term like "Source" in that brand adds clarity.
