Who's the publisher of unofficial open source ports?


Like some, I enjoy searching for my own stuff on Google once in a while. Some time last year, I searched for my game, "Wizznic!" on google, and was slightly annoyed when I saw the publisher listed. See, I actually knew about this publisher, I vaguely recall some contact with them in relation to their android port of my game. I don't think they did anything wong, but I think google did.

So I submitted feedback on the panel, multiple times, every time, explaining that, Wizznic is my game, I made it. Linked to relevant sites. To any human, I believe I definitely proved that the game was made by me. I explain that the Android port is not official and the correct publisher should either be "Wizznic.org" or my own name,

I've done this several timess, but google keeps the wrong publisher on the panel.

It made me wonder if I'm wrong..

Can opensource products have only one publisher? Maybe they have multiple?

Does every mirror site serving Ubuntu ISOs qualify as "the publisher" ?

I'd like to hear your opinions on this :)

Have you tried claiming the panel instead of submitting feedback?
