They seem to have that issue with a lot of things.

At one point they were stripping existing copyrights out of the apps that were taken from other projects.

Changing the display name of an app definitely is one of the more innocent things to do, and most developers likely wouldn't even object. As an example, LineageOS uses Etar as the calendar app (with their permission of course), which is named "Calendar" in the app drawer.
