How is it illegal? What are the specific license violations?

  As all of them are NOT official, official software names should not be used in names of such 'forks' (3rd-party builds) without permission. Much worse, as you can see there are "Scribus Indesign" and "DarkTable LightRoom" which violates not only Scibus & darktable official names use, but also Adobe InDesign & Adobe Lightroom registered trademarks. FTR, There are also legal 3rd-party publishers who sells FOSS/FLOSS via Microsoft Store, for example see LibreOffice official partners list.[0] [0] https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-from-microsoft-and-mac-app-stores/ https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-from-micros...

    official software names should not be used in names of such 'forks' (3rd-party builds) without permission. In an ideal world, absolutely. But trademarks (names) are distinct from copyright (source code,) and not all OSS licenses deal with the former.

      > In an ideal world, absolutely As it violates copyright & GPL it violates Microsoft Store TOS too.
