further it cant be advertised that its an iax/iax2 softphone due to
http://www.digium.com/en/company/profile/trademarkpolicy.php which lists iax
as a censored word unless its from unmodified code from digium.

you gotta love people that both publsh and rfc draft and try to maintain
ownership of the *name* of a protocol.
