The guy took the name and refuses to publish source code so nobody knows whose code he is actually using. If I were a moderator I wouldn't allow any homebrew posts without a github link.
Good point, I still don't get what is he planning to do or has he done

thats what I was saying about singling out one piece of software while theres plenty of other stuff on here as well. Pretty sure all of rajkostos stuff doesnt have source posted anywhere. I could be wrong though.
I can debunk the other half with this link:

I think the name was already chosen, but I suggested Goldfoil, Gold leaf, or some other fancy metal like Platinum foil 
Silliest argument ever. If its a scene tool, and its free, think hard about making it open source. Usually the goodwill far outweighs everything else.
If another scene tool thats widely used is named similarly to yours - maybe dont try to bring a name back - because you wont win mindsets in a legal battle. Call yourself "the artist formally known as tinfoil" (tafkat ), anything really, in the end names hardly ever matter (unless you are apple, then sue the eff out of trademark infringers in the electronics field because your naming idea was so hella original).
Can we have one program generation, without people half doxing alleged domestic abusers? Although I'm not sure where my allegiances lie on that one... I guess in the -snip- camp. On the other hand, as always, screaming out "toxic" and doxing folks - not a freaking smart thing either.
But I guess, some people just have to get a mob together when trying to be heard.

Can't wait for the book blawar. No need for the autograph.
For now, you didn't convince me (and another handful of average people) of your credibility. And you can't really be surprised since you acting the way you do

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
