Altium is a new master name which encompasses all the others. Sort of like General Motors is the "big name" but under it you have several brands like Cadillac, Buick, GMC, Pontiac etc.. The exception is that Altium has no brand recognition right now because the name is so new, while GM is very well known even though you don't exactly go buy a GM car. It's always branded something else.
