I don’t think so. A troll would participate in other threads and change topics.
I assume they are just some very young programmers total overexcited about the fact that they are able to patch the shit out of an almost archaeological artefact of software. Seeing someone in 2018 really using UTF7 and DDE is so strange and well worth a full blog posting (on a programmer blog). But they really should post some more context about what they are doing and why.

I think this is real. Great software programmers most likely, but PR is definitely not their strength, ... they wrote this on the Ecco_Pro Yahoo group:

Lawyers… damages… wow, please calm down guys. We’re a friendly crowd, really !

I suspect PPS is a one-man project. And he’s not making any friends with his behavior. Polywick was founded in Singapore and recently relocated to the Philippines. https://www.polywickstudio.com/company . Remember Sally who was working on her own Ecco successor called Vizacc Guides? She was also from Singapore.

I don’t think he’s a troll. He may in fact be a talented programmer, but in other aspects of software development, such as how to announce a product, promote a product, etc., he seems clueless. The blather of his last several posts read as if they came straight from a programmer’s source guide. User don’t care about that. And threatening legal action over some ridiculous thing or other, well, yeah…
But most important: is there even a market for a clone or near-clone of Ecco Pro in 2018?

The World’s Hardest Launch System
The developers here, spent ages trying to figure out how the one-pane Organizer’s launch menu system worked.
The One-pane Organizer’s Launch System is totally unique. There’s nothing like it, in the market, or any off-the-shelf library available. It had to be custom-made.
The menu-system duplicates itself across menu-bars, unlike traditional menu-systems, and allows users to duplicate the same menu across multiple menus.
