The upstream you are dealing with, here, clearly don't really
understand trademarks very well. If "krona" is trademarked (and that
DHS page claims it is) then "kronatools" would clearly be a breach.
You'll have to call it something without the word "krona" in.

I haven't been able to figure out what this program does. Your links
don't give your own Description and the upstream say:
Krona Tools is a set of scripts to create Krona charts from several
Bioinformatics tools as well as from text and XML files.
Either this is circular, or "Krona chart" was a medical (or
medico-informatical) term before this software existed and it
shouldn't have been trademarked (although I doubt anyone wants to
fight that).
radiant-diagnostic or something maybe ? (I see there is also a Ruby
CMS called "radiant".)
