A more appropriate solution to the problem of cloned FLOSS apps is establishing a trademark.

I mean he says it right before the proprietary apologism, the problem is pointing people in the direction of the project by name only for them to find malware ridden clones. Well. The problem here isn't the software being cloned, the problem is the same name being used by the attackers.

And you believe that you can scare some random scammers in some random country that doesn't recognize copyright or trademarks with a US trademark?

You make my own point sir. They're not going to care about copyright either. So may as well make this proper FLOSS.

Presumably Apple and Google would care enough and remove the app?
