Yeah, Ryan (uberryan) the creator of those cards is kind of pissed about the OP using the same name. As you can tell from the comments below, he's doing some kind of weird passive-aggressive attack on the OP. And I'm eating popcorn & watching how the whole thing unfolds. Knowing HN's stance on ideas/IP/Patents I don't think HN is going to side with Ryan.
I don't think you can assert the stance on names from a stance on copyright or patents; they're very different issues. Trademarks can be abused, but they're much less problematic and create a direct, tangible benefit to the consumer (not getting defrauded by fakes).
