SMS VITA Vintage Organ vs Native Instruments Vintage Organ

Does anyone know if MAGIX VITA Vintage Organ is based on Native Instruments Vintage Organ product? NI used to make a virtual organ product called B4 (which was very good) but now offers a virtual organ that is also called Vintage Organ. Seems like it would be illegal for 2 different companies to use the same name for similar products unless there was some connection between the two.

The most obvious connection, which many companies do, may be that Magix have licensed the NI Vintage Organ plugin for use in their software.

Many companies have similar sounding product names - some are unrelated others are meant to deceive so the customer thinks they are getting something direct from a well known company but in fact are going through 'agents' - mobile phone retailers are a particularly good example.
