Doubtful. Lifehacker is a aggregator site. And, it was here first.

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

Geek.Menu was a menu developed by a community member, maggotb0y. He's now (perhaps) one of the developers on the official menu. Lifehacker just happens to be featuring his project.

Is PAM the original

Is PAM the original launcher?

I know geek.menu and PAM R34 MOD are forks, but what about Ceedo? It can't be a fork since it's paid and not open source (and looks a heck of a lot different). And what about U3?

As for copyright, the PortableApps.com Menu (and forks) are FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and it's OK to take the source code, change it up, and redistribute it with another name, you've just got to, I'm pretty sure, give credit to the original authors and/or all contributors. Lovely thing about open source.

Oh, and the article says in the first sentence (come on - the first sentence!) that geek.menu is a fork of the official PortableApps.com menu.
