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.

OpenTofu is a "best of a bad situation" kind of thing. The project was originally called OpenTF, which makes sense since Terraform config code almost always ends in `.tf`, but HashiCorp sent out the lawyers, so they had to change names. Plus, it goes well with OpenBao, their Vault fork.
