Having to change the name doesn't seem like an insurmountable obstacle for a fork. (Pi Hole-Origin, Next-Hole, Ice-Weasel-Hole)

  Does it seem like those names would not support a trademark suit? Would you have to use the word "Hole" in order to attract users?

    > Does it seem like those names would not support a trademark suit? They're based on real world examples retaining recognizable parts of the original name: Owncloud -> Nexctloud and uBlock -> uBlock Origin. Of course it's not impossible to get a new name, but it's easier branding-wise staying close to the old one.

    My parenthetical suggestions were a joke. But having to switch names, even to something completely different, would be manageable, I'm sure.
