Apologies for the top post. My phone won't permit anything else. With regard to
the Firefox comparison, if the name was the only difference you'd have a valid

To put it into perspective, do a Google Image search for gimp, and see

GIMP is just crushing recursive acronyms together ;)
Seriously though, the fact that it's not commercial software is likely to

The name is a blocker in some US schools with teachers or student
