And here it cometh: Amarok Clone No. 6

[Mark Kretschmann]

Yo ho,

as if 5 clones were not enough, there is now a 6th clone of Amarok
1.4. I stumbled upon an article about it. From the article it appears
that they might be using our logo (which we should check, regarding
trademark). Here's the article:

Here's also a very lovely Reddit posting, with much whining and
trolling goodness, for your enjoyment:

I had a funny conversation with Ryan Paul from Ars Technica about
this, it went like this:

Mark: "One of these days, when I manage to untangle my 2 feet long
beard from my keyboard, I'm gonna go back to the real thing: XMMS
0.2.6"

Ryan: "Almost every time I write an article about any foss
application, I get a message from a graybeard who says it was better
before 1.0"

What is it with the bearded folks (yes Ian, I'm looking at you) ;)
