Someone with a line to the Maps team should contact them immediately
OP's highly rated app was more than likely listed higher than the official app rated 2.8 stars hence user reports and its subsequent removal.
Trademark infringement is never a good idea, those other apps could get pulled for the same reason at any time.
Did you run an experiment? How was it run?
Is this between protonmail addresses?
Protecting the environment is not the point of this stunt, is it?
FWIW I do the same in my library[4], handling it as an error is problematic because it would mean the chunk gets discarded and then you can't even retrieve the values.

This is one of those awkward parts of the standard, the samples always take up 16 bits and decoders are expected to mask off the extra high bits, any 16-bit value was supposed to be considered valid. In the real world trash values are often written for transparency (tRNS) chunks that inadvertently match samples in the image when the extra bits are masked off, which leads to random holes in the image. In practice those chunks have to be ignored when the values are out-of-range for the given bit depth.
This is only an issue when someone 1. is very negligent with redistribution 2. has enough negative implications for the author to take issue with it.
NixOS is a big, funded project, what's wrong with holding them to a standard? If they package it right then moral rights wouldn't be an issue for them, it's not exactly a legal minefield.
You can't just make a mess of packaging someone's work and assume there's no legal avenue for the author, that's just naive.

Use png_set_filter() with PNG_NO_FILTERS.

I don't know how squash is set up, but decompression performance depends on which library created the DEFLATE stream (see https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/issues/326#issuecomment-4...).
