When I talk about professionalizing open source maintenance, and about the Geomys Standard of Care, this is what it is about.

The solution is neither gatekeeping nor blanket legal liability nor making demands of volunteers. The solution is relying on, and funding, professionals.

Regarding @nel0x , they did not have any history with the Syncthing (Android) project nor an expressive public profile when they applied to take over the Google Play Store entry in Feb 2025. I accepted this and transferred - believing in good will and we agreed on their task to be publishing what was on my repository to Google Play after their review. If they now desire to make their own app, there is, unfortunately no way to clean up the confusion caused if it is called the same other than kindly asking them to rename it.
