At first I thought it was an incident, you know, yesterday’s story about Softpedia, incorrectly stating that Mayer Johnson is the publisher of pVoice. But it seems like a virus. What are these kinds of websites?

I’m starting to think that somehow they’re affiliated, because there’s a number of sites all offering pVoice for download, all of them using the same information (including the wrong publisher!). Just to name a few, WareSeeker (387 downloads), BrotherSoft (185), SoftPedia (1019) and FilesTube (30) all seem the same.  And that’s a total of more than 1600 downloads for people thinking Mayer Johnson is now publishing or supporting Open Source software. They don’t! I think all of us wish they would! Then I’d throw away pVoice and download the source of one of their products and modify it to my needs.

I’ve contacted the owners of the mentioned sites to let them know about the wrong information. Hopefully they’ll correct it soon.
