| - | Especially trademarked programming languages leaving no other option as to rebrand and indirect or direct fork them are here major issues. But also patented algorithms that make it impossible to recreate or modify them, leaving critical parts of a system only perhaps some very small number of possible ways to implement or even worse with no other concurrent option for interfaces, drivers or relevant parts.

| - | As more than once underlined **full rebranding is no solution**. It is a complete fork in work, not a script, not a command. And it could be told multiple times that this would be somewhat possible, it stays an illusion. Even rebranding and reworking smaller applications can be a massive amount of work. We don't and can't take this work! | + | As more than once underlined **full rebranding |
| - | Generic a fork is surely helping, when it includes also rebranding and changing the licensing to a really free, libre and permissive model. | + | Generic a fork is surely helping, when it includes also rebranding and changing the licensing to a really free, libre and permissive model. |
