As current maintainer of kdiff3 I would oppose trade mark enforce

Hi,
having the binary-factory.kde.org variant in the store would be great,
if you can help with this, e.g. submission howto is on
https://kate-editor.org/post/2019/2019-11-03-windows-store-submission-guide/
I can help with filling the stuff, if you provide a tested installer.
Greetings
Christoph

Sending an e-mail to the Microsoft store doesn't need to cost
anything, and it would have more effect if there can be a claim
of
trademark. Claiming copyright infringement as discussed on this
thread is also sensible but it does need more work and will need
at
least the cost of buying kdiff3 from their store.
Hi,
sending just a mail will for sure not be enough, as the license
allows
anybody to upload our stuff there.
You can start to claim that the name is trademarked but then this
will
only work if the other party doesn't claim it is not or that we
don't
have
a policy that forbids to upload something with that name + get
money
for it.
I think the suggestion of a letter to Microsoft was about the
potential
copyright violation, not about trademark. They could confirm
whether or
not there is an offer of source code within the package without
having
to buy it.
