it's a clear cut case really, the elementary dev issues an ultimatum to the repo owner, the repo owner points out that they do not have any legal basis to issue such an ultimatum. if elementary os people do not have a registered trademark to enforce this, then they shoud have "recommended" the repo owner to change the name, not giving an order and linking their company brand webpage.
