You'll probably want to change the name. HP/UX has similar performance monitoring tools named Glance and GlancePlus that are unlocked via license keys. These tools have been around for at least 15 years, they are installed with the base OS (and thus are well known within the community), and perform the same functions as your software (performance monitoring).

Also it looks like the font the interface uses is a bit rounded. I'd recommend something blockier to prevent litigation.

Just curious, is Glances the python script taking up 100% CPU and 1 GB of RAM in that screenshot?

Just a thought - ethtool and miitool provide link status for a network interface. I didn't study the code to see how this gets the network speed, but if it isn't using something like ethtool/miitool, you might want to.

I think it's referencing the Apple/Samsung rounded corner patent fun.

bad joke about rounded corners (see the samsung vs. apple case)
