-Kontour used to be
KIllustrator, but [Adobe] was not happy.
+There was once a vector-drawing program called
KIllustrator, but a german legal firm sent a cease and desist letter on behalf of [Adobe]. However,
[Adobe] was not employing that firm, and
was not happy. They refuted the cease and desist, but the project had already been renamed Kontour. (News coverage at [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/07/23/killustrator_now_called_kontour/])

+The developers stopped working on Kontour, though. Now it has been replaced with Karbon14 ([http://www.koffice.org/karbon/]), a part of the KOffice suite ([http://www.koffice.org/]). Kontour is still being packaged with some [Linux] distributions, such as [Debian]
