MandrakeSoft have been in dispute with the owners of the rights of 'Mandrake 
the Magician' a 1920's comic strip for some time.

The use of the wand and stars in Mandrake's old logos did not exactly help 
their case. (now only the stars remain)

IMO the name is not important, they may as well change it if only to get that 
magician off their backs.
