,----[ Quote ]
| A day later, Palamida cried foul. "After two days of intense investigation,
| we have confirmed that most of our database has been copied directly--word

| our initial work," said Palamida spokeswoman Melisa LaBancz-Bleasdale,
| pointing the "blatant plagiarism" finger at Black Duck.

Krugle and many other companies that get associated with open source for the
wrong reasons.
