I suspect it’s somewhat tongue in cheek. From the README:

> A "bullshit-free programming language" is of course a highly subjective opinion

I hardly think the author would believe the concept to be subjective and also believe they have a monopoly on the phrase’s usage.

A surprising number of people don’t understand the difference between copyright and trademark.
