I actually fully agree. I think it would be a nice idea to have a feature article that lists all the names of the rip off products and points out in a professional manner that these products are simply rip off from FlightGear. Likewise, I would also propose another idea that we talked about before: How about adding a note that is written to the splash screen saying something like: "Welcome to FlightGear: Please visit www.flightgear.org for additional downloads". Painting this onto the individual screens would not be very effective, because I suspect that even mr. Charlie Taylor would be capable of changing that. However, if this text were generated by a C++ function, and painted onto the splash screen, it would at require at least some effort and skill to conceal the fact that "FlightProSim" (or whatever cheesy names they come up with) is in fact flightgear.
