The fact that there is discussion and recognition of specific spinoffs
indicates that they have a place in the timeline. Attractiveness,
success, and popularity are not valid determinants for removing anyone
from the family tree.

Ross - the glimmer in grandpa's eye when he was young does not belong
in the family tree.

What is the name of the MV Query language in QM?

It doesn't strictly have a name but, if you want a term to use in
conversation, the obvious one would be QMQuery.

Re open source, the original open source version of QM is still out
there for exactly the purpose for which it was released (a sandbox for
developers to try ideas for possible mutual sharing of donations to
the QM project). As has been well documented over the years, the
community did not want to use the open source in this way. There are,
however, 419 registered users of the open source. We have no idea
whether any of them are doing anything useful. There are currently no
plans for a new source release.

Scarlett DME is a fork of the QM open source that is completely
independent of Ladybridge Systems. Again, we have no idea whether
anyone is doing anything with it.

BUT in a family of brunnette's, they stand out! And for what purpose?
If they didn't reach maturity, and have no user base ...? Does my
homebrew project from the 80's written is PASCAL count (though I did
have 1 user, but the brother in law stopped using it MANY years ago!)
Where do you draw the line? Anyone remember the DS Rabbit product (???
I'm guessing not, 'cause the "product" ended up being little more than
an idea that got floated around and marketed for a while, before the
money ran out ...

This is where it is has been helpful to have a purpose and angle
regarding this chart. Because my original interest was to trace the
origins and evolution of the mv query language, I tried to record each
clean room implementation along with various forks (and heists?). --
