[Kamailio-Users] OpenSIPS project

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Peter,

(I just copy and paste a previous rely)

OpenSER (as started by Voice System) goes away due some trademark 
issues  regarding the name (see the web site).

The OpenSER project renamed as Kamailio.

OpenSIPS is a new project started by Voice System as the current 
OpenSER/Kamailio is not able to provide for us an environment for a 
quality and progressive work.

Shortly,

          /->  Kamailio
OpenSER -
          \->  OpenSIPS

Regards,
Bogdan
