fccview[beta] degoog - search engine aggregator
LLMhater1312Aren’t they gonna send a cease and desist for having a logo that looks like theirs? I know parodies are legal but they will pursue it aggressively, no?
I think it’d be a very bad look for a company the size of Google to file something against a tiny open source application.
Colors are slightly different, the word “Google” can’t be copyrighted and it’s an aggregator and not an engine, that said I do want to rebrand before going out of beta, mostly due to this being impossible to find when searching for it 😆
Funny thing about that (/s) is that they’re basically required to go after “misuse” of trademarks and such. Letting small company X do it could invalidate any efforts to stop large company Y from doing it.
Also Google DGAF about optics.
I’d have a read here :)

Whilst you’re generally right, Google does not have a history of suing open source projects and they very much care about optics in this specific aspect (at least so far and for now). Whilst I’m not a fan generally, it’s undeniable how much they contribute to open source in general :) it’s always good to give credits where credits are due as it’s the kind of behaviour we want to encourage you know
jjlinux | X unverified 😅@fccview @BrianTheeBiscuiteer as much as I hate Google, it's executives and everything they stand for, I 100% agree that credit where credit is dua should always be the route. This is what separates us from them. Not lying to further our philosophy is how we maintain open and transparent discussions about technology the right way.
