I would have thought that was a porn related app. Now that I know what it is, I know xchat is far more destructive to society than porn ever could be

It is, tho. Child porn, in particular.

I'm still amazed that all those companies have stolen the names of older programs, like https://xchat.org/ or Gemini.

Sadly I think xchat copyright is over

[-] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's more a trademark issue, which requires continued use (but that may still be legally satisfied even with a low active user base). If there is an active maintainer/owner, they probably could file a trademark suit.

Copyright in anything like code or content will outlive us all in Berne Convention countries. That protection is automatic, so the notice like you see there is not necessary, but it also indicates dates that begin the copyright clock, not the ending of it.

App hasn't been updated in 16 years. I'm guessing they won't be fighting the infringement.
