I think this is a bad move.

There is already:

SourceTree

SourceView

SourceForge

TheSource

SourceCode

SourceDaddy

OutSource

By adding more "Source", you are just diluting value of source brand.

It will be interesting to see how many more "Source" untill we stop using Source at all?

Same is the thing with "Git" and Docker escaped this issue by prohibiting use of "Docker" in non docker owned companies.

"Source" is not the brand, it's the literal description of what most (all?) of these products and services deal with.

The prefixes/suffixes make the brand. Having a very relatable/descriptive term like "Source" in that brand adds clarity.

GitHub, GitLab, Gitea. Those all work fine. As long as you can easily tell the difference between them.

Agreed. Taco Bell, Del Taco, Taco Cabana, Taco Bueno, Del Taco, Fuzzy's Tacos... and it keeps going.

My wife still misses Taco Tico, and every time I call some other restaurant that, she's incredibly disappointed.

So yeah, there's more to branding than a single word of the name.
