I don't like it when unrelated projects squat on the name of some existing project. Trademark isn't just a commercially useful thing, it helps users understand what they're getting and who they're getting it from.

It's shitty for a new project to ride on the coattails of a trusted project with years of reputation. It misleads and confuses folks.

Take inspiration anywhere you like, borrow the code all you like, but don't steal the damned name.
