No I am not implying anything other then there is competition in the Zope marketplace and ZC has positioned itself to be the one that ends up with the most beans. This is what makes the free market work and I would do the same thing if I was in their shoes. However, I am not in their shoes, and therefore don't want to brand their company and don't want to add my beans to their pile of beans. Thats all I was saying.

Uh, this is brand clarification... Sometimes people (well, people who don't pay enough attention) don't get that company X is associated with product Y. Look what happend to Borland when they changed their name to Inprise but kept the old product names. For those folks who don't pay attention to every detail of goings on in the Zope community, or are not subscribed to lists, or are new to Zope, I imagine that a name discrepancy could be confusing...
I hope you aren't saying that basic, well thought-out, marketing strategies are somehow predatory behavior? Let's not even try to compare this to "hijacking" in the style of a certain Redmond-based company.

I don't think ZC feels this way.
Note the comment by Hadar Pedhazur, Chairman of Zope Corporation: comment at:http://www.zope.com/News/PressReleases/DC2ZC
"This name change is intended to ensure that Zope and the company that develops Zope are more closely associated with one another in the marketplace."

I think its only competition in the same sense as I am competing with all of you for oxygen.
Let's call it coopetition.
