They indeed do :-) And the mistake was not a big one, it's just that
people on the mailing lists have very limited knowledge of everything
outside the mailing lists...
I sincerely hope to see VSP as open-source, it seems that it has a
plugin-interface that I believe people would like to hack on... ;-)

Hi Greger,
Just wanted to say thanks for the appreciations and for the
observation. I was aware of the difference between iptel.org and
iptelorg, but my wording was indeed not best chosen. I was referring to
Jiri, Nils and Jan. I guess they fit in both categories :-).

Hi Tudor,
First of all, let me point out a minor issue, but as there has been
(and obvious still is) a general confusion about it, I feel a need to
correct your reference to "iptel.org staff" (though, don't take this
personally):
There is no such thing as iptel.org staff. iptel.org refers to an
open-source community with no paid staff, but with sponsors and lots
of volunteers. However, you may refer to the company iptelorg.com
(http://www.iptelorg.com), now a part of Tekelec Inc.
iptelorg.com/Tekelec is a sponsor of iptel.org in both servers,
Internet access, and development work. (And I also want to point out
that the company Iptego is another of the important sponsors of
iptel.org). iptelorg.com was (unfortunately) named at a point where
the difference didn't seem important.
I find the VSP tool interesting and can clearly see its benefit. I
have seen that others have commented on the tool not being
open-source. I see the statistics for iptel.org free SIP service as
interesting in itself and see no harm in Iptego as a sponsor offering
a commercial tool to the community (and not much difference from
other sponsor activities). Though, I don't think you should expect
too much feedback from the community as long as it is not
open-source ;-)
