This is one of your comment from the Github thread,
> ...which affords certain protections under US trademark law and has enabled elementary to prevent people from distributing other items under our brand name—but regardless this issue is in no way a legal threat as much as you want to insinuate...
Honesty, it looks like a legal threat to me despite claiming otherwise given your other comments on the Github thread have been on the legality of your request.
Also, claiming the repo owner has a poor understanding of trademark law when you are not a lawyer reflects poorly on you. If you wanted to change their name to "Unofficial elementaryOS Tweaks" - just ask nicely without getting into legal gobbledygook.
- ISV_Damocles 5y agoThat's actually the edited version, the original one stated: > ...which affords certain protections under US trademark law and has enabled elementary to prevent people from distributing other items under our brand name—but I absolutely do not want to go the legal threat route Which is much more of an "it'd be a shame if something happened" kind of phrasing.
- NotEvil 5y agoYeah, but it also clearly states that they don't want to go the legal threat route. So I don't know. I think that thsi think was clearly mishandled by both sides
