Ahh I see what you mean, instead of asterisk business edition and just
asterisk use two totally seperate names.  That could cause more
confusion than its worth, and cause potential trademark dissolution
which would be a bad thing for digium.  Its too late to do that now at
any rate, sometimes the best plans are those created after the fact.


I originally thought you meant that openpbx should be called
openasterisk and license that name from digium.  Which seemed ...
insane.
