What law, rule or policy does this violate?   ImageMagick was ARC approved,
no other program named "compare" has been, so I see no conflict.   Neither
the OGB nor the ARC can be expected to regulate the namespace of every program
someone has written in the world, only those that have asked to be part of
OpenSolaris.
