We had a discussion about navicat's adds: we would need to buy a 
trademark, and generally a trademark applies to only one country.
Navicat are based in Hong Kong.

The cost of trademarking for one country is about the same as
the donations we receive in one year.

Anyway, reading "phpMyAdmin GUI version" makes me laugh: do we have
a non-GUI version? So I hope other people also laugh about navicat,
or, if they don't know phpMyAdmin, at least the adds mention phpMyAdmin
so they might be tempted to see what is phpMyAdmin.
