>recover potentially millions for the foundation.

You really believe a guy setting up a superficial fork in his basement has "millions" to pay out in damages?

If he doesn’t then there is little point in writing this blog post as well.

The point of the blogpost isn't to shutdown Zen, it's to ensure new people who find Zig or Zen aren't confused into thinking there is a relationship between the two.

[CyberRabbi]

Why would anyone think there was a relationship between the two? Nothing in Zen’s marketing mentions Zig.

I have more faith in my fellow human beings that when they do due diligence to decide whether they should pay a monthly fee to use a language, that they would do a little due diligence and look into the history and syntax of the language and see that it's a fork of Zig instead of taking marketing at face value.

[CyberRabbi]

By that logic, If you have faith in the due diligence of your fellow man, why would a rational person assume there is a relationship between software forks with no claim to that effect?

Because many open source foundations bless commercial offerings. Having the open source foundation come out and say the commercial package is rubbish is the exception, not the norm.
