No matter how many times I see this it still grates on my nerves as
I recall the old kermit documents that described how the name was
chosen and said something to the effect that "kermit is free and
always will be". (Or is my memory at fault here?) I have nothing
against proprietary products, but couldn't you have changed the
name when the philosophy changed?
