See original GitHub issueIt would be useful to explicitly state the repository policies on different problems that could occur.
For example, since the repository will use the project/version format it’s a very big chance that there will be conflicts, legal ones included (experience from the npm).

Now that this issue is covered in the FAQ, I would call it closed. There is a new discussion about dashes
-in #109 that is related to this (you take naming seriously!!). Thanks to everyone for the feedback!Hi all!
Currently, we are not very concern about this issue as the C/C++ number of popular libraries is not as big as in other languages. However, we will try to follow popular libraries and common names in order of contribution and review them before PRs are merged.

Hope all this helps to answer the question. Thanks!
