Please rename it to not contain "GTK" and something distinct. I think 2 months is a reasonable time to come to a solution here.

This issue should be raised in https://github.com/gtkwave/gtkwave as that is the main repository. This is just a flatpak packaging of it.

Please contact upstream about it, then, I don't know who's maintaining it. And please keep this open until it is actually resolved.

If the name is not changed we will be forced to delist and archive it from Flathub.

Hi, after some internal discussion it seems that there is no official policy from GNOME dictating whether third party applications can or cannot include "GTK" in their branding and whether that constitutes a trademark violation or fair use.

This makes enforcing a case of trademark violation complicated/not possible from our part. So we won't be pursuing this issue any further.

I have removed this issue from the tracker flathub/flathub#5228

Sorry for any trouble it might have caused. Thanks!
