I think I see your meaning:
People associate "Rebel" with Ed.  So they may think that Ed wrote the entire
package.  I think the Rebel web site is pretty clear on the contributions of
Christophe.  Anyway, it should be generally known that all the major
functionality of CT is from 'the other CT'.  But Ed surely has given him some
good ideas.  On the other hand, I think that CT will benefit from the Rebel
monicker, since it is well known.  Having the 'Rebel' tag appended will mean
instant market recognition.  I think the whole idea is really a pretty good
marketing idea, and should make both Ed and Christophe a lot of money.
