Why did they want a new name?

Might be to reduce risk of legal action by Microsoft (not that they'd have a legal leg to stand on, but that doesn't seem to matter these days)

You can copy my homework but don’t make it obvious… MineClone

Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.
