This is the first I've heard of such a thing. They were asking us to reconsider the name 'Ki' explicitly because it might cause confusion to and end-user community (e.g. if I was googling for FixFlyer's 'Ki' and found instead Apache's Ki, I might be confused). They made no such claim of functionality overlap that I'm aware of. Cheers, Les
