Oh no!  While not on-topic for this list the OpenSER thing has been
confusing lately.  Some company has a trademark on OpenSER.  The
OpenSER project had to change its name to Kamailio (like the
Zaptel-DAHDI issue).

Around the same time there were some problems on the Kamailio board.
There was plenty of activity on the lists, etc but what I took from it
is that Bogdan left Kamailio and forked OpenSIPS.  I believe he will
continue to commit to both (if they give him commit access to Kamailio
back) but OpenSIPS primarily exists for his company (Voice System).

Basically if you have a support contract with Voice System you should
use OpenSIPS.  Otherwise you are free to chose either Kamailio or
OpenSIPS for whatever reasons you like.  There is no OpenSER anymore.

If you are confused you can always just SER (the original from iptel/FOKUS) ;).
