Hm... if it's open, then by definition others can put out versions of the same thing under a changed name trademark or no. All your doing is stopping others using the same name. Is that worth anything if you own the canonical site name?
- danjoredd 3y agoMy main worry is that someone might register a trademark for that name and cause all sorts of issues for me. Worst case scenario I could just rename the project, but my mind goes to the time when Firefox browser, at the time Phoenix Browser and firebird browser, kept bullying other open source projects and it was only their trademarks that kept them from needing to change their branding. https://lunduke.substack.com/p/why-is-firefox-called-firefox https://lunduke.substack.com/p/why-is-firefox-called-firefox Thing is, idk how often this stuff happens and if it is something I need to reasonably be worried about especially since another non-trademarked piece of software has that name already
