If he was the NVu guy, why did he change the name? (although I rather
prefer "Bluegriffon" to "nVu").
I don't know the exact reasoning, but there are a few likely possibilities:
1. BlueGriffon is an entirely different program. NVu was built on the
old Mozilla Composer codebase, and depended on a (patched) old version
of Gecko. BlueGriffon was built from the ground up, to use the
most-current version of Gecko without patches. It's possible that
Glazman wanted to dissociate the new product from NVu due to those
differences.
2. Glazman had an sponsor for NVu -- the old Linspire Linux distro. It's
possible that Linspire and their successors, not Glazman, hold the
rights to the NVu trademark.
3. BlueGriffon, having no sponsor, uses a different business model --
the so-called "freemium" system: basic package is free, add-ons are
for-pay. Since NVu was totally free, another possible reason for
changing the brand was not to carry the expectations of it being totally
free.
Not to mention that BlueGriffon and BlueFish support HTML5& kompozer&
Nvu do not...
So does my preferred Web Editor.

DreamWeaver CS5.5 also handles HTML5 as well as RapidWeaver and Sandvox.
