Definitely not. There is equivalent that doesn't require apostrophe or umlaut (diaeresis) characters. Legal will have a far less difficult time with this than flat out incorrect spellings, or new names.

I disagree any duration of the incorrect spelling of a surname is acceptable. For a private/closed project it might be tolerated for internal distribution only, but I'm skeptical. For a public project I don't think it's appropriate.
