Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

It would be easy to fork and rename it. Just keep pulling the updates to keep it current and don't change anything else. Wouldn't be surprised if that took off.

Also, you'd have to change the splash screen, the menu's, etc. Just renaming the executable doesn't really change the name of the program. You are making changes to it, which you'd have to check don't break anything else every time there is an update.

That already exists and your ignorance of it seems to prove you wrong.
