The idea is free. The name is not. Seems fair to me. If the name is irrelevant, just call it timeboxing.cc.
Or to put it in another way: if this is just timeboxing, why did Fei call it Pomodoro.cc? And why did the site used to say "Pomodoro.cc is a tool that leverages the concepts of the Pomodoro Technique", rather than just "implements timeboxing"?
Seems to me that Fei got a useful technique for free from Cirillo, and his thanks is to not even have the respect to name his site something else.
