A 3rd party developer, Menial Software ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.,https://menial.co.uk/base/ <https://menial.co.uk/base/>) is marketing a commercial SQLite database for the Mac as a commercial product and has named it ‘Base’. This can be at the least, potentially confusion to users of your free database product, supported by donations, in OpenOffice and LibreOffice given it is the same name. I have invited the developer to consider changing the name be they have expressed no interest in doing so. As such I personally consider this to be predatory marketing.
Should this be a violation of your or Oracle’s copyright I would urge you to pursue this matter, both to protect your copyrights and to reduce confusion in the database application arena. ———————————— Regards, James Weil [email protected]
