OK, I sometimes forget how linear your logic is Andreas.
As far as renaming the user interface goes, I have no problem abandoning the name if it ends the confusion between these two software packages.
The fact that we have common naming and revision numbers for for incompatible products only leads to confusion.
And AmigaOS users apparently have no problem borrowing whatever they need to re-implement something we've already done, so giving us a additional layer of propriety (even if its only in the name) can't hurt.
Which confusion?
Are there any cross-platform projects using MUI5 (or however it might be called)? Most projects are for one of the platforms today, even applications with free sources are forked today, few are interested in porting software between platforms. The MorphOS team with MUI had the chance to set the GUI toolkit standards but they decided not do so (that would have required porting MUI but they wanted to keep it exclusive to MorphOS). Today it is only violating "honor" of MorphOS fans because they use the same naming as on MorphOS. In reality it is not relevant...
