I also completely agree with Peter's reply and that RPCEmu (and any
derivatives) should remain under the GPL.
The suggested renaming is also a bit silly. I'd imagine most of them
will also fall foul of trademarks, whether for RISC OS (I'm not certain
on the trademark status of RISC OS itself) or Windows/Mac trademarks.
"RPCEmu+" also seems like a thinly veiled attempt to make it look like
their version is in some way better than the original project, which (as
Peter rightly points out) would just serve to confuse users.

This now deleted Twitter thread from a few months ago was very concerning:

For what it's worth, there's a screenshot of the deleted tweet that's
missing in that screenshot here, in which I was wished a happy troll day
by Cloverleaf (and yes, I'm still blocked):
