Hi Tom,
I know they are a bit touchy about mentioning competitors. I guess it depends on the context. It says in the code of conduct not to advertize or highlight any name, strictly speaking that should allow straightforward discussion or links if in a general context. I have tried to discuss this issue a couple of times but never got anywhere - they loosened the rules a while back only to bring them back a few months ago. I don’t agree with this strictness, but I try to adhere to it whenever possible. In most cases it is clear to insiders what people are talking about since there aren’t too many different solutions out there. And it seems to be all right to replace some letters in the name, e.g. Phot**can. Just use your imagination…
