It seems kind of weird to put a brand name on a clone.

Are you talking about our own dminner naming his clones? To me it's more like a name for a pedal design company.

This.
Dan doesn't do the cloning per se. He does the enclosures.
Really, it's akin to someone creating a page that advertises their artwork rather than selling effects pedals.
As he's mentioned, most of his stuff is done in trade rather than as sales.
