So if the protocol is not encumbered by any patent or copyright (only by
missing documentation) it shouldn't be referred as proprietary as it
only confusing and hurts the cause.

Laziness of others (to write the documentation or implement the
protocol) should not qualify to label the IAX2 as proprietary.

Even WIKI is confusing the cause calling it proprietary without any
valid reason :-)

I think that should be corrected!
