That issue looks reasonable, there isnt anything about trademarks there, why bring it up?

It looks to be about providing support to paying users of Redis in a library that doesn't have much goals.

And they offered to pay for it to do it.

Do ctrl+f for „trademark“, there are currently 12 occurrences. Here’s what the Redis representative wrote:

> These are not my words nor the message I want to convey. In a private call, I said that it feels strange to use the brand name for a library that keeps supporting all the forks indefinitely and does not grant compatibility for the product itself. I also said that it does not make a lot of sense to pretend to rename a crate and replace it with the same software or an alternative library, thus creating confusion and frustration. However, companies do consider protecting their trademarks where their reputation is challenged. This does not need any explanation. In my private call with Armin, I highlighted that. Of course, there is no plan to take action regarding the trademark, but to find a reasoned and agreed-upon way forward to avoid introducing another Redis Rust client library where changes, improvements, and innovation can be introduced.

So basically the point is to make thinly veiled threats of copyright enforcement to „agree to a solution“.

The Mafia also agrees with you on a payment plan after highlighting that a fire would be a shame in your establishment.
