Sadly any things this product does are overridden by the fact that many parts are blatantly ripped off from Atlassian's JIRA issue tracker - see this thread for details.

As the previous anonymmous was too chicken to put his name to, I disagree. This is not a fair comment and the anonymous doesn't even qualify what parts were ripped off. In any case, it seems that the only parts that are at issue is the issue tracker's presentation layer; not any of the design or code that implements the tracking of the issues. The two user interfaces are too similar for some people. The authors of Coefficient are changing the presentation layer because of this criticism.
I don't know if there are any legal claims to ripping off here; especially, considering it is the user interface. Besides, anonymous never asserts their authority in determining a ripoff. I imagine this is a complex legal area.

And this is why I personally prefer to steer away from open source wherever possible. When a community that prides itself in allowing every and all to access their code, but then also turns on itself and starts accusing each other of being a copy cat or even worse, it just brings the underlying mentally to the foreground. Not only is the user expected to fix bugs from open source projects but when they do fix and improve on the design and publish their own code under a new name, they are scrutinized because of this. Decide where you want to be, free for all code or commercial copyrighted and protected intellectual property.

Ahum. I choose ... free (for all) code! See how quickly they solved the matter.
Imagine how two hawkish IPR companies would (not) resolve this.
