Oh, wow, thanks.
It seems they got the similar name from their founders that were related: "Springer Publishing Company was founded in 1950 by Bernhard Springer, the Berlin-born great grandson of Julius Springer, who founded Springer-Verlag (to this day an entirely independent company)." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springer_Publishing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springer_Publishing
