Personally, I don't think the unofficial FB GnuCash page is having a
copyright issue. The GnuCash name is not copyrighted as far as I know. I
also didn't feel there was an ethical issue. The page clearly states
it's the unofficial page, implying there's an official one too. It also
has a link to the GnuCash home page, so the page is not trying to hide
GnuCash for personal profit. I never felt these things to be a problem.
I'm more worried about the splintering of interested people. I believe
it would be more useful for anyone if there's only one facebook page to
follow to learn about everything GnuCash. The fact that Cristian posts
the same news on both pages is already reducing such splintering.
