First thing I would suggest to both of you is to sort out the names of your projects, because two projects with the same name are very confusing for everyone.
Second thing is to point you to SystemImageKit, too. Maybe we can all collaborate to make one tool to rock them all.
Happy New Year!
(Also, the URL for one including "mbusb," but the user account for the other being @mbusb)! As someone who has used (with success and enjoyment!) both of these very differently-designed projects, I agree - trying to land on the correct one for a given situation is always difficult.
Even adding soemthing to it - using e.g. "mbusb Multiboot USB" for one (Though I don't know which!) could work. Perhaps GrubMB Mutliboot USB for the @aguslr project? (Maybe multibootusb.org could be part of the project title/name for the one run at @mbusb ?)
I am going ahead and including the menus keeping the license as it is.
@mbusb, I'm glad you find our scripts useful and of course you're welcome to use them in your project. I see you copied the files to your repository, but wouldn't it be simpler to add this repository as a submodule of yours? This way it'll be easier to pull any new changes and there is a visible link to this repo.
@probonopd and @GeoffMaciolek the names are indeed confusing. I decided on this name since it was a common generic name for this type of personal project and I never thought it'd gain so much traction. For a while I've been thinking about renaming it but I can't come up with anything interesting so I accept suggestions.
@aguslr I was in a hurry to release a new version and as such I was not aware of submodule feature.
Thanks for accepting my request.

No problem. Just check it out as it simplifies the process. You might need to use your own file to load the scripts from the submodule and set your own iso_path
, but you're already doing that anyway.
I also have some more idea to improving the auto generation of menus which you can implement in your project later.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Let me know if you work something out.
Hi Agus Lopez,
Happy New Year.
I am the author of cross platform multibootusb project. Recently I have included GRUB 2 and later implemented limited UEFI support. While I was thinking about idea of placing ISOs directly in to a specific directory and generate menu from GRUB2, I discovered your project and the idea was implemented by you long back. I would like to include your menu entries in to multibootusb project so as to benefit the users at large. Since, your project is also open source, due credits would be given in the project page and source code (or wherever you would like to have it). I also have some more idea to improving the auto generation of menus which you can implement in your project later.
Can I go ahead and integrate the menus?
