Can you show where you posted this prior to 2004-04-20 with a copyright 
notice? A reference from archive.org (wayback machine) for example.  If you
have proof I will change the name of portmanager to avoid infringing on your
copyright and if you don't I insist you stop infinging on mine.

See https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107280 for the 
first official portmanager posting dated 2004-04-20.
