On general principle, I think 22 years of inactivity is perfectly reasonable for considering any software project perfectly dead.

On general principle, I think sharing but a single character between names of products is perfectly reasonable for considering any names perfectly seperable.

No one's comparing this to 'y'combinator or 'y'ahoo.

'server' and 'window system' are completely different...

The “be aware” is the problematic text; nobody cares that a two decade old dead project has the same name.
