Right.  But now he has released a cost-free version; it
would be nice to be able to get a bound version.

It typesets like TeX, it is configurable like Emacs.   But
regardless, the name reflects the inspiration and isn't
supposed to indicate what it is.  It takes a lot of work
to consider it to be misleading, and if you work hard
enough many names are misleading; Firefox has
neither fire nor is it a fox, for example, and as far as I
know isn't inspired by either.
