    Interestingly related: when KDE devs complained to Microsoft that, due to the fact that name of their new product and similarity in functionality to KDE’s own Maui project

    https://mauikit.org/

    they were causing confusion and potentially violating KDE’s trademark, in the Microsoft forums KDE was told to sue them or f**k off.

    KDE does not have much money, much less enough to embark in a costly legal battle with Microsoft with a doubtful outcome.

      They also copied the slogan for KDE Plasma 5 (“Simple by default, powerful when needed”) and used a thinly veiled variation to promote Windows 11.

      They were also notified and they again ignored the notification.
