Hi there, congratulations on this FOSS project. π I stumbled upon this project on social media, cool to see someone tackling a selfhostable GeForce NOW.
However, after looking at the project I spotted potential issues with the project's branding:
While I am not an attorney or lawyer in any way, shape or form, I did notice Google's Stadia logo being present on the "overview banner" in the README.md
. Despite the clear disassociation on the website, I don't think it's legal to use their trademarked logo as advertising unless you actually use Stadia's technology. (Compared to using Steam's and NVIDIA's trademarks as the project utilises Steam as software, and NVIDIA both in software and hardware, making that usage more so "fair use".)
The name Netris has several issues regarding clarity:
I would suggest to quickly remove the Stadia trademark from the banner in the README.md
to not attract any potential legal action from Google, especially as this could be seen as a "threatening competitor" to their (now defunct towards the general public) streaming service.
Another suggestion would be to rename the project, although I do understand that would be a bit more difficult as that would require renaming Netris everywhere.
