I am not a lawyer, so I am not sure if that person is indeed allowed to do _that_, but it feels like a dick move. If they made the app free, I wouldn’t mind at all. If they made significant changes to it and charged for it, I wouldn’t mind either (I’d like to think so, at least).

And if we could use the fact that the TWA pairs to the website and show that in Play.... "Paired with http://proxx.app ". Could be super useful for brands. This app is paired with http://Amazon.com ? Oh it is the real one!

That doesn't help much, though, because the ones that aren't paired won't say "this isn't paired", so there's nothing there to show people there's a more "official" version. And it's entirely reasonable that someone might take, say, 2048 and publish an app of it; that's allowed.

Yeah. Whether the general feeling of "they took my open source software and published it with no changes" is actually bad or not, certainly people who do that sort of thing are quite likely to add only unpleasant extras to it.
