I think the original point was if FCKEditor is being used as the default editor and when the typical user of the mass or someone is trying to sell pitch to their user to use Modx then they would have a not so easy time to pronounce FCKEditor.
So in my opinion if we make FCKeditor as an option but not the default then the point of change the editor name would be not nescessary.
Just my 2 cents!
I honestly think it’s a bit presumptous to change another author’s work. We have alternate RTEs available, and their names won’t affend anyone. That should solve it.

...considering where MODx comes from
Anyway, That’s what the GPL and LGPL is for. The freedom to use and change the software to suit yourself.

No one is changing the name of the Editor. We would only be changing the name of the MODx plugin
FCKEditor is released under the LGPL:

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
