I'm well aware of that, but it makes no sense from a marketing perspective either - because it confuses more than it helps! eg. #2 at https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r15b69940c02f93274b0e7372f4f2d302374589cecbeb0a4f22de4e61%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E :-) If it constantly needs explaining (and I know I've had to), I'm not sure it's driven by sound marketing ideas.
