Come on, this is a small community in which all developers active enough to be creating a named project know how to raise issues on email lists, in chatrooms, or via GitHub. If they send an email to a lesser-known alias, they know where to complain, which is just what you've done.
If you want to tell a normal person to install an XMPP app it is a show stopper to say "XMPP". THis does not have to do anything with the size of our XMPP community.
A normal person is not sublicensing a Jabber trademark.

Correct. But being able to use the term "Jabber" as a dev affects the normal people who will use the app.
If it is only abolished in the app / program's name that is already helpful but of course it would be natural to use the term jabber in your app's name ...
Sorry, but I call bullshit. Lots of people seem to be using Conversations, Snikket, and all sorts of other apps. We haven't actively been using JABBER in software names in 20 years. You can even say "Conversations is a great Jabber app" (that's fair use) but you don't need to use the JABBER mark in your software name. Peter
