The trouble is though that there are two companies who have had PBX  
related software products under the name OpenPBX for many years and  
this has caused confusion. In one case the company is what you would  
call a natural ally because they are a competitor of Digium in the  
telephony hardware market and they can't fix their channel driver as  
fast as Digium breaks it. They would support our project but we  
alienated them by using a name they have been using for many years.

How would you feel if you have been running "Bruno's Coffee Bar" for  
many years and all of a sudden an otherwise likable neighbour sets up  
his own "Bruno's Coffee Bar" across the street?

hope this clarifies
