Additionally I'd like to say - even if nobody want's to speak it out - that Erik has shown that he does take the Cocoon community seriously by being open to correct the comparison matrix (and already has done so: http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/cocoon).
What companies do with their business is only at their own responsibility and I think we should be friendly to those doing some marketing for us (good or bad) rather then be confrontational. As Stefano said, it doesn't really matter.
We don't need to hide and if a company has a reason to do something similar like cocoon, they might have a good reason to do so (e.g. lack of an important feature or completely different architecture). It's their decision, if they extend Cocoon or write their own solution and it's their right to compare it just to show why they did something else.
Come on, we all know, that Cocoon isn't the solution for everything and we should be above such things and should allow others to point out our weak points (even if misunderstood). That's the only way we can make it better or correct the statement by providing accurate documentation to prevent misunderstandings in the future.
Just my € 0.02.

Roger,
while I understand that you might have felt insulted by their marketing action, I would suggest you to avoid being confrontational.
In principle I agree, don't get into a shit throwing contest.
But a continously evolving "Feature" or "Evaluation Overview" page is something else, and a good thing that is coming out of this, which should not be confrontational nor "compared with X" style.
Plain and simple.
