We should go back to our roots so it's better to rename "Neutron" to
"Nova Network".
Thanks,

IIRC 'Quantum' was renamed to 'Neutron' due to the trademark issue.
I don't think reverting it to 'Quantum' resolves the issue.
When we chose a new name, the foundation checked the legal/trademark issue,
so I think it is better to contact the OpenStack foundation or discuss
it in the legal-discuss ML.
"Newton" release of "neutron" is confusing though :(

Dear Neutrinos,
We've been following the project for quite some time.
To our satisfaction the project seems to have done well; the base line of
features that were available to the networking component of OpenStack
(then nova-network) has grown quite a bit and seem to have gained a
successful momentum with the communities, both development and
operators.
However, Neutron appears to be a trademarked name [1], and after thoroughly
discussing the issue with our and Marvel' legal departments
both sides have reached the conclusion that a naming scheme is an obligatory
amendment and unfortunately is the only viable option.
An obvious resolution to this issue is reverting the old "Quantum" name
back.
However, this is subject to change and review from the PTL and as such,
we'll shortly propose a relevant change to the review system.
We anticipate the review process to be be swift, to avoid further legal
implications.
Sincerely,
Jimmy J. Akin,
CIO, John F. Kennedy Space Center.
