Thanks. At this point I would like to say "apologies accepted", but I do not want it to sound like a reference to Star Wars, because I do mean it literally. > Nevertheless, though attached by fraud, the name is still inappropriate, > and must be changed before being added to Fossil. If you don't mind, I'd rather have it not named at all. Due to how it's (still) heavily loaded with negative emotions, I would like not having to interact with the original project or its repository. And a name change at this level does involve quite a lot of interaction. However the code I wrote for fossil is significantly different from the original, due to the integration of fossil idioms (and I'm willing to integrate even more, but further idioms would have to be pointed out to me since I couldn't find them by myself). By the way, you might not like the formatting of the C code, and that too I'm willing to change upon request. I thought it would be dishonest concealment to not mention even once the name of the original project, since that's where part of the code and all the design comes from. But I mentioned it only once. Just like the subject of this thread, the code only talks about a "markdown engine", without a name. Would the integration of such code, exactly like it is currently on my fossil clone, without any other reference to the original project than the first post of this thread, be acceptable? If it is not (for example if you really want references to the original project), then I'd rather we first address all technical issues, to ensure the code itself really has technical merit to be added, before proceeding to the painful renaming.
