It's a trademark issue, not a code or github issue. Trademark is garbage type of law. I'm running a company not a foss project. Even foss projects have trademarks they defend. Because there is no choice, defend or lose.
The drama due to people utter ignorance about trademark and is mostly generated and amplified by the scumbags from foundation and seed signer guy.
I don't know this guy, or was ever contacted by him. The legal trademark team has autonomy and go over all of our tradfemarks, he was just one issue.
If he ever contacted me, I would have encouraged him to create something new and different with his skills, but that's just my way of being. I see skills wasted not created something actually new. Heck he didn't even bother changing the display aspect ratio.
Because this is a legal mater i can't get into details or argue online.
Trademarks are a fuck if you do, fuck if you don't type of law.
Was not an easy decision, but had to be made. I own it.
If you don't defend it, you lose it.
And If someone made an evil version of our products we would have less recourse.
Running your sales site of your knock off out of the same repository as your codebase is retarded. Trademark has nothing to do with the code.
Things are never as simple as the cancel ppl try to make it be.
The drama seems to always originate from the same sources...

Hello 80K gang; Price going up is a good reminder to always secure your #Bitcoin as if it was 10x what is worth now. It will move that much in a blink of an eye, and until it does it is 10x more secure than you could have hoped for. 👉 BitcoinSecurity.guide
Don't FAFO.
You can SeedXOR it with half in a safe deposit bank or with a friend for example. If you multisig put a part else where.
Not being able to sign a transaction under duress is the feature.
Using a hardware wallet with duress features helps with that.
