Someone else using the exact same name as another project is just blatantly looking to stir up problems. In the end, it doesn't matter what petty little discourse the devs have, though, because such things most affect the end user, and that's the important part. The random noob that doesn't understand everything off the bat. Having two projects named Tinfoil just gets in the way of people trying to get into the scene, because they're told to use Tinfoil, and then run into two separate projects, three if you count the unforked original.
Months from now, people will try to google what "tinfoil" is for the Switch, and they'll stumble upon questions and discussions that don't lead to the "right" tinfoil, because now there's suddenly another one. It's like if back in the 3DS scene, someone decided to make something else called FBI, and thus baffled everyone not up to date on the 3DS scene.
The new tinfoil in and of itself has nothing wrong with it. Though it is highly, highly preferable, not every project needs to be open source. It's major issue is the name, which, any problems with that appear to be on the way to being resolved through this naming thread. The bickering about "No I own the rights to the name!!" are childish and silly at best.
At the current time, the newer not-adubbz-not-xortroll-tinfoil (do you see how confusing it is?) https://gbatemp.net/threads/tinfoil-title-installer-w-network-and-usb-hd-support.522257/ is locked, to prevent both confusion to newer users, and to prevent a constant source of infighting within the scene, which has instead tried to spill over to this thread. It is not censorship in the slightest, as the post still exists for more savvy users to find and link to, and through contacting a moderator, the developer can freely update the thread.
Good luck to XorTroll on finding a name. Choosing something simple but catchy and memorable should be the ideal goal. Once the two projects are defined and clearly different, perhaps the newer tinfoil that isn't this tinfoil being renamed (ugh) thread can be re-opened for discussion.
