Except that I can't call my ffmpeg, ffmpeg; because of the trademark. Whereas I can call my crytopunk, crytopunk. And if crytopunk has to register a trademark to defend it, it defeats the whole purpose of NFT as we are back to our regular court system.

I'm not talking about the name "ffmpeg" specifically, but the project itself. You can call your project the same as what you forked, but if it's on your own forked chain, it's not the same project.
