    I see this as a delightful and very apropos revenge against how they treated Azer Koçulu for his use of kik as a package name, and how they tore it out of his hands simply because he wasn’t some million-dollar corp with an army of vampire lawyers.

    Any truly fair system would have a “you used it legitimately first, you can have it” system.

    You want to centralize control, and kick small devs in the teeth? Enjoy the fallout, f**kers.
