Quoting from the link:
"Do we really have to change the name?
Yes. The stress of pursuing this through the courts would be too high. I would much rather focus my efforts on writing great software, and supporting the people who use pug."
You can't expect an OSS project to fight this kind of bullies in court. Yes, they are bullies, but sometimes giving in to BS is the best option.
