Neither 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.
