I'm not a native speaker, I had no idea what "kike" means in english before reading this issue.

I intended the word only in the sense "to suffer the same fate as the azer/kik project".

I renamed the project, my apologies to anyone who could have been offended by my mistake.

No harm done, node itself has 'gyp' which is a racial epithet for gypsies in most of Europe.
Even "gypsy" has negative connotations, hence their preference for "Roma", generally speaking.
Btw, it should also be "are trademarked" :)
Right!
