Popcar2 , a note on your disclaimer that you are not affiliated with the Godot foundation. Is that usual in projects using an engine? Or is it because of your , IMHO, poor naming choice.

Think of this way, if the tagline of the project was “EstragonOS, a fake os made in godot”, would the disclaimer be so proeminent in the page?

I think you know you are playing with fire, to make the disclaimer a larger font. It’s not too late, consider a rename.

Thank you for the concern, I did indeed add it preemptively because of the project's name. The reason I chose "GodotOS" is because the project was initially intended to be a sort of tech demo for Godot's UI systems, and I spent most of my time in the official Godot Discord showcasing its development and getting lots of feedback. One of the contributors of the engine itself gave me the thumbs up.

Of course, if anyone officially from Godot wants me to change the name and general branding I'll do so quickly. Right now, I think it should be fine.

It's OK, I'll name my project Popcar2-OS.

"playing with fire"

I don't think the Godot Foundation would be against this.

As a heard they are quite toxic, so who knows?

From where?

That's irrelevant to the issue of copyright enforcement or handling of the copyright.

I've wanted to know what Pouley Ketchup is talking about for a long time, but we don't know, so hard to use it as evidence for much.

I have my guesses who he's talking about tho.

Please add a disclaimer that you are not affiliated to IOS

It's a fair point, but I don't think Cisco has too much to worry about in this case!
