The rationale is interesting. I'm glad they kept the logo as it's recycling ♻️

At least it is the only software project so not technically a dupe

Yep, and allows them to trademark the name, which has some legal benefit.

How so?

Descriptive names generally can't be trademarked, so postmarketOS wasn't eligible. Nura is the only computer project with that name and it isn't descriptive, so can be trademarked (in the computer or software field).
