<p>Hi</p>
<p>When publishing plugins a developer can choose any name to give
their plugin. At what point do we act to prevent users from using
known product names as their plugin name.</p>
<p>A typical example of the pluginĀ <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/geonod/">GeoNod</a>.
Taking this name at face value a users might associate it as the
official plugin fromĀ <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://geonode.org/">GeoNode</a>. I have opened an issue
asking the author to reconsider naming his plugin to something <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/Segl-segl/geonod-qgis/issues/1#issuecomment-6443133278">different</a>.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Should we enforce anything related to this or we just leave it as
it is and we let the end users decide. I think we could add some
rough guidelines to the publishing page to nudge developers to
have names that are distinct and separate from known established
products.</p>
<p>If i was an owner of Nike and someone produces a product called
Nik and sells it next to my shoes would i be worried ?, maybe not,
but food for thought.</p>
