"OpenWarp is a community fork of Warp's open-source code. It is not affiliated with Warp Inc. and follows the upstream AGPL / MIT dual license."

It is rude, and possibly a trademark violation, to fork a project and use the same name. And, how can there be a "community fork" when there is no community? It's just been Open Sourced 24 hours ago.

I would like to introduce my new venture, OpenOpenAi.

I agree on the name, but to me the word community here is used to mean it's not run by a company.

Warp is already an Alacritty fork with no acknowledgement. I feel they deserve no respect for this.

Definitely disagree about rudeness.

Only a trademark violation if a trademark has been registered. IANAL.
