I can understand how you got the name from "metal" and Futurama. But in the UK, "bender" basically means "faggot". Maybe you might want to think on the name,/. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bender

Well, box in slang means vagina. Should Dropbox (or any other company that has box in its name) reconsider its name too?

Consider the conditional probabilities (with made up values suggesting the relative orders of magnitude):

    P(box=vagina|box uttered) = 0.0001
    vs
    P(bender=slur|bender uttered) = 0.8

It's not a desperately common term though in the UK any more.

... when you say faggot - are you talking about the delicious spiced meatballs, or the piece of fire-wood?

Any given word has a chance for slang in the UK for penis, vagina, homosexuality, or being drunk.

My favourite instance of this was the reaction of UK cinema audiences to dialogue in "The Last Airbender":

"I could tell from looking at you that you were a bender". Genius.

Hey! I work at Xmartlabs and we have built Bender: a library to build and run Neural Networks on iOS. As it uses Metal under the hood, it takes advantage of the device GPU, so it runs fast and supports real-time applications. It also allows to run TensorFlow models, so it should be easy to run your existing model. If you guys could provide feedback, it would be cool!

Ouch. But do these segments come from another, PD, source? Or is it just direct theft from Facebook?

Thoughtless copy-pasta at best and plagiarism at worst.

I have very little knowledge about the actual license law, but what is the right way to do that?

Let's say there is an open source project published with a very permissive license that has one function you need. Putting the whole project as a dependency is an overkill and rewriting the function with your own variable names and indentation doesn't sound like an improvement.

Would adding a copyright notice somewhere in the repository be enough?

"bender" actually ticks two of those boxes (homosexuality and being drunk - "on a bender"), which is quite good going for one little word, really!
