Of course this is totally up to you, but I would recommend thinking about a 
different name before inclusion.

One thing is that KDE programs in general moved away from highlighting K 
somewhere within the name by uppercasing it, because people never get this 
right when writing about it.

Another thing is that it is extremely close to one of the competitor's name. 

Maybe there is some famous mathematician with K initials or a mathematic 
technique (similar to the product that it named "Derive")

Cheers,
Kevin
