The grandson of Alfred Nobel's older brother complained publicly 20 years ago... about a prize that's been given now for nearly 60 years.

Yawn.

Distant relation of man who used his fortune making explosives to give a prize to prominent academic unhappy, complains. The foundation got to make the decision, was given the name. This is "old man yells at cloud" level of discourse. This distant relation has less of a right to say how the name gets to be used than the foundation created by the man.
