Crafting descriptions of an artist and/or individual works may function as a reasonable replacement for specific names. That's what's happening behind the scenes anyway.
It's an interesting problem. Like, what's the point of conception for a work of art?
I can't speak for mike_d specifically, but there is a concern with having (potentially significant) modifications made to the codebase that aren't surfaced in the release notes. I imagine closed-source projects do this on a regular basis whether customers know (or care) or not.
The expectations for opensource projects are different though, particularly when it comes to system-level or near system-level components. So not being able to access the functionality is a great default but it doesn't address side effects of the changes or the desire to know about changes being made in our environments.
Of course it doesn't. Only the actual auditing of the code could do that. Nobody in the world wants to audit code they are relying on every update to make sure that the developers have not added potential new security concerns that they would otherwise not be aware of.

In practical terms, IP could be referred to as unique advantages. What is the purpose of an organization that has no unique qualities?
In general, what is IP and how it's enforced are two separate things. Just because we've used copyright and patents to "protect" an organization's unique advantages, doesn't mean we need to keep using them in the same way. Or maybe it's the best we can do for now. That's why BSD style licences are so great.

We are hiring experienced engineers to help us build out our mobile and web app products. We love product-minded engineers that are comfortable both managing a team and working independently, and love to contribute to product decisions. Our tech stack is built from the ground up on Elixir/Phoenix and Flutter/Dart.
We launched our flagship mobile research app [1] in November 2019 on the Joe Rogan Experience [2] and have since had over 35,000 iOS app installs with a 4.8 star rating. Among our flagship studies, we've partnered with world-famous mycologist Paul Stamets [3] on a UBC research ethics approved 12,000+ participant correlational study [4] on the effects of microdosing psychedelic substances on cognitive performance and mental health. We've also partnered with award-winning cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg on a 5,000 participant Gratitude Study.
