@liaizon Do you honestly consider your example to be on the same level of GIMP? Those would be two different situations for a multitude of reasons. Or is it more of a rhetorical question?
I didn't even know Gimp could be considered a bad word until today. That's the name of the project ,it always has been, all the docs and the search results point to GIMP.
They changed the name in the past, G stood for General, GNU was more to the point. That I feel was a good reason.
Would I use a program that is called Fuckhead without having to rebrand it and recompile it? Any time.
Anyway, its #FOSS, people can do what they want.
@arteteco if your given last name was Fuckhead and everytime you introduced yourself people were like wtf!? would you keep your name anyway?
