It has been named QGLViewer by it author. I personally like capitalized names. I prefer to name packages the same way as they are commonly spelled or known. In this case, the author chose to use capitalization for "Q" from Qt, and "GL". These parts are commonly capitalized. Partially capitalized names are common in life, and are generally perceived as looking aesthetic. Yuri
