You may need to rename it, though, as this is not an official Blender project. [1]

Even if "Blender" wasn't an officially trademarked name (which it is, in both the US and EU), standing on the shoulders of Open Source also means respecting their rules when it comes to using a project's name to market your own creation.

(Unless you asked for, and received, permission of course. In which case that's something you'll want to mention on the landing page so folks know you did the right thing)

In addition, the site claims BlenderGPT is a registered trademark ("BlenderGPT®"). I find this to be very unlikely.


Maybe just call it “ChopperGPT” or some other synonym for “blender”


Yeah, Blender have been getting serious about enforcing their trademark recently. BlenderMarket have said that Blender asked them to rename, and they’ve been around for years, contribute to Blender fund, etc.

This will need to do the same.
