Change project name to avoid confusion / trademark issues #48

Open peppy opened 4 years ago

Really cool project!

Unfortunately, you've named it the same as the official game. Highly appreciated if this could be changed. You are free to mention that it is a game that "plays like osu!" or "based on osu!" something like this, but if it isn't changed by trademark law I will be required to file a formal complaint.

I'd also advise changing the domain name.

You seem to have included the copyright mention, but overlooked the trademark clause.

Please share an email with me if you would like to discuss further.

OK so we're going to change the repo name and the domain name. It will take some time to redeploy though.

Thanks for understanding! To reiterate, we have no issues with your project existing (not trying to kill it or anything) but by US trademark law we may lose our trademark protection if we don't contest usages like this.
