h2. Unfair competition

With the launch of Google Blink web engine on April 3rd, 2013, both projects Google Blink and AG Projects Blink from http://icanblink.com overlap massively in scope, nature and purpose. While the webkit fork can be used for more purposes than Blink SIP client, with the adoption of rtcweb standards into blink fork of webkit, Google library competes direct with the purpose and addresses the same market of Blink SIP client.

Since the launch of Google fork search results about Blink SIP client have been flushed away, only google relevant results appear.

* Both projects implement real time communications features (text chat, audio and video sessions) (text, audio, video)
