As Mike Brown notes it may be accidental. This is not to belittle your enormous contributions to the community for which I am grateful but if you wanted the name not to be used by someone else you could have copyrighted it, from my perception of the way you work you would scorn to copyright in this manner, hmm could someone copyleft a name like Xpath Visualizer? It seems to me the only real quibble one could have here is if they looked at your code and said, Ah we can do that, or if they actually said That name is pretty famous, let's use it. The name Xpath Visualizer is as Mike seemed to hint, a pretty reasonable name for something that visualizes Xpaths. >I am not commenting on the ethical side of this phenomenon... to which Mike Brown responded: >Well, you called their version fake, ugly and confusing... These sound like >comments to me. :) yep, then again maybe Dimitre wanted to point out that xml spy itself is fake, ugly and confusing. :) with which one would get no argument from me.
