You've got to be kidding! This is a fact of business. If someone markets a good product, there will always be someone else who will try to get a share of that market. I admit that if I were the originator of the product, I would not like it, but that's life. As long as the competition did not get their imitation product by stealing my code they have every right to compete against me with their own version. Let the market place decide which is better!
