Reminds me also of this exchange the maintainer of thttpd had with a repo guy: http://acme.com/software/thttpd/repo.html

Or the time Tuttle (a city in Oklahoma) threatened to sue call the FBI on CentOS: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/24/tuttle_centos/

(I'm somewhat amused that the website in question still doesn't seem to work 13 years later.)
