Jeff Merkey is the person claiming the "xscreensaver" organisation on GitHub, despite it not being, and never has been, his project. He has promised to drop that and move the repo to /hisname/xscreensaver, but only if JWZ flatters his ego first. Sounds like he knows he's squatting on someone else's good name, but thinks he's so clever and well versed in trademark law that he'd be deliberately antagonistic all the way to the end of a huge legal bill. Just to force him to do the right thing. He knows what the right thing is and could do it at any time, but just look at his priors and tell me he'll do that: https://www.dmlp.org/threats/merkey-v-does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitra... | ||||||||||||||||||||

Well, it's also impossible to link to the official one (here https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ ) without seeing eggballs in a cup due to JWZ's ego. So I say there's no winners with two big egos like these. | ||||||||||||||||||||
