First of all the license is GPL so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, I 
think the Japanese had an attack code word called "Tora, tora, tora" 
when they attacked Pearl Harbour... so what? It's also a jewish book 
(Although thats spelled Torah I think). Further more KOra is already 
busy and TOra is not a new product, it has thousands of users and the 
name doesn't seem to have been a problem. BTW, the name TOra comes from 
"T"oolkit for "Ora"cle which was where this program started even though 
it has partly moved on to other things.
