The reaction to the repo in question is also very weird to me, and

Quite the opposite. He has done the right thing to protect his
trademark.
There's a difference between gently pointing out to a volunteer that
they are not complying with the terms of the licence and could they
please fix it, and being an arrogant prick with said volunteer and
acting like a scum-sucking bottom-feeding lawyer (as if there's any
other sort).
Oddly enough, I find that I get better results from volunteers when I
ask them to do something, instead of ordering them around like an
arse-hat boss.
Oh not disputing that or the tone. Just saying telling people not to
call the product the same as the trademark if there are any changes to
the product is the way to protect the trademark.
