Since calendar has been around for so long in the BSD world, it gets to keep the name. If the other program was merely packaged for Fedora first, it would have to give up its name to the BSD calendar. If there are two programs that don't have a long historical or standards-based claim to the name then we'd ask both packagers to approach upstream about renaming. -Toshio
