FIS Prophet is targeted at actuaries, and really no-one else so I don't know if anyone will care. They have had the name a lot longer than Facebook though!

This other Prophet has also been around for a while: https://github.com/Emsu/prophet

Right, but some of the source code in FIS/Prophet goes back to the 1980s.
