lo0l, poor guys. I talked to one of these guys, via a sequence of emails, right before they won the Apple design award. They're a great group of CS student's in Germany. Why anyone would get pissy over the name of a freewear app is beyond me...Well, okay I could see if it were a blatant rip, but come on, Hydra™

I guess it's a common name bound to piss someone off. They are probably better off getting a more unique name, after all there product is.

They should call it Zaphod. Or Beeblebrox (sp?) since he had two heads.

Very Close! - it did turn out to be a HitchHiker's reference:

SubEthaEdit

I like the tribute to Douglas Adams, but really, I would rename SubEthaEdit to Hydra as soon as I installed it.

BTW: What was the other product named Hydra?
