What's up with the naming of rage forked projects?

OpenMaxIO, Forgejo, Valkey, OpenTofu..

Some worse than the others, but still..

Btw, MinIO making these not "open open-source" moves should not be a surprise. Since the beginning, YEARS ago their own CEO, lead people talked in a way it was clear they wanted to follow the Hashicorp book, a few years later they've taken quite a few hundreds of millions in investment.

So let's not be childish, adopt it for what it is and when it happens adapt it for what it is.

I don't get your point about naming. What would you have them named? OpenMaxIO seems different than any of the other ones you listed. They wouldn't have been able to name it OpenMinIO without some legal problems.
