The actual name and what the words in that name does NOT matter (Junior, Crafty, Hiarcs). What matters is that one program had a name and another program used that name in it's entirety within their program name. If I called my program "Better Than Crafty" or "Not A Crafty Clone" or even "Craftiest", it would be REAL obvious to everyone that I was using your program name in my program. Just because the word Junior is recognized in English speaking countries as an appendum on names does NOT mean that Deep Blue Junior cannot be confused with Junior (i.e. the Deep Blue could be adjectives on the word Junior as opposed to Junior being a reference to the type of Deep Blue). The fact is that Dr. Hsu either intentionally or unintentionally infringed on Amir Ban's copywrite and should change the name of his program. I like the name "Not So Deep Blue" (just kidding). Additionally, Amir Ban also infringed on Dr. Hsu's copywrite by naming his program Deep Junior. Both of these names should be changed. KarinsDad :)
