Ask HN: How to name an OSS project extracted from a closed-source product?

1 pointsby Coryodanielabout 1 year ago
We will be open-sourcing the core of our platform in April, currently in the process of pulling it out of our codebase.<p>We already have a CLI for our customers; we were planning to use that as our open-source version.<p>I see some open-source projects by for-profit companies that use different names (AuthZed v. SpiceDB), but then there are companies&#x2F;projects like Mongo, Terraform, and Redhat.<p>Are you less likely to use an open-source tool if it shares branding with a for-profit company?<p>We&#x27;re also planning to submit our spec to the CNCF. Does that impact your opinion?<p>Are we overthinking this? Is anyone concerned about this?
