Having similairy named products is legitimate assuming they do not occupy the
same market-space.  Is a document management system and a Linux distribution in
the same market-space?  They are both "software",  but are they the same kind of
"software"?  Where is the line that delineates one market-space from another? 
How granular is a "space"?  These things aren't exactly straight forward;  I
think the Mozilla/Firebird/Firebird fracas garned far more attention then it
meritted.  To me it seemed like the usual procedure for how these things are
resolved;  we have  a legal system based on the concept of "adversaries".
