That's why I'm hoping the "You-Know-Who" phrase will take off! E.g.,:

o Not supported by (You-Know-Who).
o Unofficial (You-Know-Who).
o Based on the free download of (You-Know-Who) Linux.
[ NOTE: () means italitics ]
If others decide to follow suit, we can tailor it. E.g.:
o Not supported by (You-Know-Who 'Brand M').
etc...
If the vendors "wake up," great! If they don't, then we have an
alternative. If they "wake up" then "go back to sleep," we've still got
an alternative!
