- b800h 3y agoNeither Ada Lovelace nor Haskell Curry is still alive. And Python is in a different category. It's one thing to use the name of a historical figure, quite another to use the recognisable mark of a living person. Of course, it could all be being done with endorsement, in which case, my comment is invalid, but otherwise it's incredibly rude and a borderline civil tort.
- lifthrasiir 3y agoI also believe that passing off requires a demonstration of a substantial amount of probable damage in the future. The mere existence of a graphical software named Penrose can't do much harm. (If you name a malware after Penrose, that may be the case though.)
- b800h 3y agoWhat about if the software is faulty?
