The legit trademark issue is https://npmjs.com/package/cypress-cloud (package owned by the Sorry Cypress dude) and then the OP article above links to a bunch of packages that seem to be from disparate owners, but are actually all the same guy OR come from code originally written by that guy and _THEN_ forked (Deploy Sentinel).
The dude also has some pretty nice namesquatted packages (cypress-vscode, cypress-debug) that he references in that article. It made me think that there was serious anti-competitive energy in there and that made me worry for the community.
I rolled back the tweet because it was getting too much traction... and I lost trust in the article once it seemed to be a personal thing that Cy was responding to with radio silence and legalese.
Once I realized the article was misleading, I deleted the tweets that drove the traffic to HN today.
