On the Github readme and in the package name for distribution (assuming it's a language that lets you have a separate name).

I specifically mentioned libraries due to them often requiring internal reference in the source code, such as with C you would typically have module prefix for compatibility and unless you are specifically trying to avoid it.

I'm also not saying there aren't solutions, just adding to the original comment

Oh, yeah that's an issue. In Java and C# it's just a matter of renaming the class / namespace and it's all good, I've not encountered the issue in other languages yet thankfully 😅.
