Hi,

I wanted to get in touch with you regarding Plucker and a company called
Bluefish (www.bluefishusa.com).

Before I say anything I want you to know that the company that I work
for, Streetbeam (www.streetbeam.com), is a competitor if Bluefish.

If this comes off the wrong way I apoligize, but I did want to point out
to you that Bluefish is using the Plucker browser and distributing it as
their own, or more appropriatly, not giving Plucker it's credit.  My
only hesitation in sending this is that you have an agreement with
Bluefish alowing them to do this.  I understand that Plucker is released
Open Source but I also feel that what they are doing is not in the
spirit of Open Source.

The best way to show this is with an example, visit
http://www.mercuryguide.com/dn/dnews.html and download the application
for first time users.  After installation you will see that the browser
used is Plucker down to the navigation icons.  If you change
SLC-Content.pdb to have creator 'Plkr' you can even open it directly in
Plucker.

But don't feel that special, I think they did the same thing with the
ZLib library.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

Allan
