I don't think we have to enforce one style, compare GNU Coreutils which is spelled 'GNU Coreutils', 'GNU coreutils', 'Coreutils, or 'coreutils' depending on context. We could recommend one alternative though, for sake of having one canonical name. I see this entry in the ChangeLog: 2009-06-15 Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> * libtelnet/*: Change use of 'InetUtils' to 'Inetutils' as per mailing list discussions. So maybe we had that discussion around that time. Btw, README still uses 'InetUtils'. That should probably be changed. > But I cannot for the life of me find the thread.

Some of the tools are for local usage (e.g., ifconfig, hostname, syslogd, logger) than for wider internet usage. To me, 'network' is more general than 'internet' so I'd prefer we use the most general name possible. /Simon
