Are those two programs made by different people? I thought one was just the paid version of the free one.

Adblock Plus - company in question.

AdBlock - Donationware. They also run this http://chromeadblock.com/catblock/download/ It replaces ads with pictures of cats. Hilarious

They are different, but can anyone be blamed for confusing the two?

Adblock just very noisly requests a donation, it doesn't require you to actually pay. Adblock plus does not do either.
