I'm still amazed that all those companies have stolen the names of older programs, like https://xchat.org/ or Gemini.

App hasn't been updated in 16 years. I'm guessing they won't be fighting the infringement.

As someone that used to use xchat regularly, I feel very old seeing just how long it has not even been updated...

Sadly I think xchat copyright is over

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

It's more a trademark issue, which requires continued use (but that may still be legally satisfied even with a low active user base). If there is an active maintainer/owner, they probably could file a trademark suit.

Copyright in anything like code or content will outlive us all in Berne Convention countries. That protection is automatic, so the notice like you see there is not necessary, but it also indicates dates that begin the copyright clock, not the ending of it.
