[Zope-dev] Competition

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

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:

"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."
