Whose icon is it anyway?

Today I reinstalled the iOS version on my iPad. When I searched for 1Password in the App Store, I was presented with several options, the first three of which are shown in the attached image. What gives? It can hardly be a coincidence that all are using the same lock image as 1Password 4 does. And one of these uses the same key that was part of the icon for 1Password 3. What protection is there against this kind of behavior in the App Store? I'm assuming the second two are copying AgileBits, but that's my assumption. I can't really know for sure.

    There is only one 1Password. It appears that it is the first link in your screenshot, but if you want to be sure you can use this direct link: http://j.mp/1PasFO

    We're aware of the other apps listed, but it wouldn't be wise for us to comment on them at this time. Thank you for mentioning this, though.

    I knew there was only one 1Password. :) My comment was only many to be about the apparent imitators. I understand that you can't comment. It would not hurt my feelings if you decide to take the whole thread down.

    The App Store has been plagued with essentially plagiarized apps in the past. I don't know whether Apple has managed to clean them up or not.

    Thank you @benfdc

    I have been meaning to order another shirt or two. You just saved me looking up the blog post for that link. :)
