I'm sorry, I did indeed misunderstand that. You were clear, I just parsed it wrong.

So the criticism in that paragraph is undeserved, I've removed it for clarity but will leave it here for posterity.

> Wasmer the company might have been announced November 12 2019, but the open source project was around a year before that. I don't know what happened prior to that date to make the Bytecode Alliance members want to "veto" you as you put it, and maybe you're entirely blameless for that. As you point out, your trademark shenanigans hadn't taken place yet. But saying the "veto of Wasmer happened the same day it was announced" is misleading at best.
