Google is the „owner“ of flutter, why would they fork their own thing? The post is describing the problem the author has with google.

But they're using the Flutter trademark. It's a fair question. They appear to be using a trademark owned by someone else without permission.

Right, give it a few days and the domain will change.

They kind of did it before with DartAngular. Maybe this is a Red Hat/CentOS division, where Flock is an upstream community edition and Flutter is ... I don't know.

I asked because it is confusing. My assumption would be that if this is an independent organization they couldn't use 'Flutter' because that is a registered trademark of Google, and they would say they are not connected to Google. I'm looking through their website and github repo for any statement that either asserts or denies a connection to Google - and I'm not seeing it.
