**'''Comment''' Is there anything that can be said about the history of the proprietary software prior to being open sourced? ([http://sourceforge.net/news/index.php?group_id=317587&limit=5&offset=5 source]). Is/was it used by big companies back then? If sources with significant coverage regarding that can be found, the software could be notable. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 09:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

**'''Comment''' Only if there is any [[WP:RS|evidence]] that the software ''was'' actually widely used prior to being taken to open source. <font color="green">[[User:WikiDan61|WikiDan61]]</font><font color="green" size="5px"></font>^{[[User talk:WikiDan61|ChatMe!]]}_{[[Special:Contributions/WikiDan61|ReadMe!!]]} 10:57, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

::*'''Comment''' It should be noted by those looking into this topic that there are at least three separate projects at SourceForge going by the name of ''SeaHorse'':

:::* The subject of this article is the project located at http://seahorsejs.sourceforge.net/

:::* There is a second JavaScript add-on library also using the name ''SeaHorse'' at http://jseahorse.sourceforge.net/

:::* There is a third ''SeaHorse'' project at http://seahorse.sourceforge.net/ that describes itself as a "Gnome front end for GnuPG".

::: This profusion of ''SeaHorses'' is likely to cause a great deal of confusion. <font color="green">[[User:WikiDan61|WikiDan61]]</font><font color="green" size="5px"></font>^{[[User talk:WikiDan61|ChatMe!]]}_{[[Special:Contributions/WikiDan61|ReadMe!!]]} 11:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
