Not rude, not the same name.

You probably can't name a project OpenWarp for the same reason you can't name a search engine OpenGoogle, even though it's a different name to the original. In this case, it's particularly confusing because the original warp project _is_ now open source.

I used Warp a bit on Windows. It looked promising, but didn't work quite as well as I would have liked. It's great that it's been open sourced.

Does anyone keep a DB somewhere of open source project names?

I think it would be better to give the code fork a different name.... And maybe move it off Github!!

You can't name something OpenGoogle, because the Google name is trademarked.

Is Warp trademarked?

		It is, and the discussion is about etiquette, not law.

		Yes it is, as another person has replied.

Definitely rude, too close to the same name. Warp just recently open sourced their client, a [not community] personal fork should be more considerate.

Try do create a game called ”Open Pokémon Go” and see if it works or not.

It is not the "open" version of Warp. Warp is already open. So the name is rude.
