Koreader plugin "Calibre Companion"
I just discovered koreader, and in the process discovered that the development team has appropriated without permission the name of our Android product "Calibre Companion". Can someone point me toward a person who can change the name of that koreader plugin?

I sent email to chrox.huang at ... but have not received a response.

Hi Charles,

I'm sorry for the late reply. And as the author of koreader plugin "Calibre Companion", I feel really sorry if it brings any inconvenience or bad effect to your product. I appreciate your work on the "calibre companion protocol" which makes wireless document delivery from calibre to reading devices directly even possible. As the comment in our plugin code implied it's not intended to appropriate your trademark or product name but a way to credit what you have done to the calibre community without which we won't have such wireless delivery experience with calibre. Any way, I have changed our plugin name to "calibre wireless connection" and send a pull request here https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/1370. And after the pull request is merged there will be no "Calibre Companion" plugin in koreader anymore.

Yours sincerely,

Huang Xin

Thank you. We really appreciate it. We also appreciate your clear honor and integrity, an excellent model and example for the open source community.

Best of luck with koreader. Do feel free to contact me if you have an problems with the calibre wireless device driver, especially if some future change I make inadvertently breaks your plugin.

Excellent. If only all problems of this type could be resolved so in this spirit.
