This smells a bit like someone is using the brand of a famous open-source tool they built to promote their startup. If so, that's lame; if the new business is unrelated to your open source project, branding it as Pydantic Logfire seems a bit disingenuous.

I think there's a less-misleading way to use open-source reputation for business credibility, though: "so-and-so business, by the creators of so-and-so project". Knowing that respected and skilled folks are working on a business is great! It's a fine distinction, but I think it matters.

It’s very telling that you didn’t give an actual concrete example of how someone could get confused/misled, what that would look like, and what it’d result in. This is nothing more than a baseless whinge.
