I've been holding on OpenSIP.org for many years... perhaps I should be
donating it now.

Subject: Re: [Kamailio-Users] OpenSIPS project
I don't mean to sound overly critical, especially since all the
developers and contributors have been so good to the community. What I
don't like on the Kamailio side is that I simply can't remember the
name; not one I run into in my daily life, and I doubt I'm alone on
that. Just last week a group of ex Google engineers released an
alternative to Google named "Cuil" (pronounced 'cool'). While that
name
is also rather hideous, it's memorable. As for OpenSIPS, won't this
same exact scenario play out in the near future, where the name has to
be free of trademarks? And if it is free of trademarks, why not just
use that name?
Just my 2ยข

If this fork is based solely on the
hideous name "Kamailio", then perhaps you could fork Kamailio into
/dev/null and rename the OpenSER project OpenSIPS.
Hi Mik,
i accept your position about the name, even if i have another we needed to find a new name that is free from
third party
trademarks, and
also not similar to other existing names. And
kamailio was choosen in
the end
from the available suggestions.
Cheers,
Henning
