Interesting! Just sad that as time goes, the same issues keep on resurging on different open source projects. What is next? Forbid any project, open source or not, or online posts, to even mention or use a trademark related name without prior approval? That seems insane. But I like the way the Redis-rs project maintainer acted. By being public and transparent, he enabled a broader and qualitative communication with the community at large. That’s a win for open source. How long before another charge hits? Only time will tell.
