I think mostly that is right. I have asked for and think we will get a more concise statement from eZuce (probably sometime today) to help clarify their part and perhaps the name thing.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." I am not so clear on the copyright of the codebase and the name, that's the only unclear piece to me. Since the codebase is lpgl it should not matter. Since avaya has their "openscs" name, and I "believe" sipfoundry "should" own the sipxecs name nothing, I don't think the name "matters except for continuity" and is probably not changing except for the branded versions eZeuce and Avaya are offering and whether or not there will be a squabble over who owns the sipxecs name. I doubt there will be any squabbling, so let's sit back and hear what the sponsor parties have to say. Al says they have been in communication with eZuce, so they probably have that all worked out. If the board members at sipfoundry needed to be involved, they probably already were.
