Aren't you afraid that one day, M4t1Ab says SIP plagiarize their software ?
I remember a very nasty story about a software called Krayon in Suse that 
caused Suse to be prevented from selling its boxes in Germany:

Personaly, I think giving same names and syntaxes as M4t1Ab will cause 
problems (although it's easier for users to migrate) if SIP becomes more 
popular. This year, I had a sale representative of Mathworks on the phone for 
my school. He was not quite happy of the existence of Scilab.

Common points are natural, but SIP is not a (cheap) clone of the M4t1Ab Image 
Processing toolbox. I consider it as a complementary tool, or as another tool 
which allows image manipulation.

Well, I gave my opinion. What's yours about that ?

Best regards
Jocelyn
