Yes, but not only the same cloth. Some of them seem have had links in the past in some way to either spyware, adware, rootkits, or combinations of. (Or does that come under your meaning of same cloth?).
Isn't it amazing how any involved in those practices have in my opinion suddenly seen the errors of their old ways and have attempted to 'cast away' those nasty linkages. Strange also that they all have similar ideas and also seem to be singing from a similar song sheet. (Yet the words seem not too dissimilar from those uttered in the past?)

and what does f-secure mention about it.
I refer to

"PeopleOnPage produces the Apropos family of spyware"
and who produced PeopleOnPage. I leave that for any readers who don't know to find out for themselves.
