Everyone agrees that openser was becoming an important brand and we 
believe it could be the main reason we got targeted for name conflicts 
and trademarks. In such situation is hard to take a decision in a way or 
another. The one with the lowest financial and resources investment 
seemed to be renaming.

Things like this happened recently with Gaim which became Pidgin, Zaptel 
drivers which became DAHDI. Such situation looks like being inevitable. 
To avoid any suppositions, this situation has nothing to do with the old 
project, from where openser forked some time ago.

The companies and developers around the project will continue to support 
and develop the project as before. The new major release will be with 
the new name and version 1.4.0 -- simply is just a renaming, no other 
changes.

Cheers,
Daniel
