e.g. Can a software use a naming scheme based on Genshin characters, WoW locations/zones, etc. for their version codenames?

    Man I sure hope so:

    I use Federation starship classes as my codenames. Granted, I’m a tiny project, but I’ve yet to get a C&D from Paramount or the Roddenberry estate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    You did not mention where, and I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve never heard of a copywrite or trademark holder react to just the name on an open software release .

    Can’t hurt to get permission

    Edit: Cannot use, too many automated take down notices whenever release mentioned on certain media. Even with permission, it will be a pain
