How about Yellow6 or Green4 ?

I mean ; who cares about a name. It isn't worth much since it's mostly known to 
developers and those don't care if the project is called XX73262, purple31337 
or none.com.

The zillion blogs that would write about a forced renaming of Red5 to XXXX 
would be high in the ranks of G00gle so ppl searching for Red5 after the 
namechange would
end up on the new domainname in seconds.

IF however Red5 is violating anything, be it reverse engineering, which seems 
to be illegal in several countries then this project is at risk, right ?

I'd like to hear some of the (other) developers views on this case since we're 
heavily investing in Red5-technology and we
wouldn't like to hear that the product would be declared 'illegal' in the near 
future.

Regards,
Walter

  1. I am not clear what name you are saying red5 comes close to infringing.

  2. If it does, there are no damages without notice. You cannot sue if you ask 
someone to change the name and they do. Its not like copyright infringement 
where any infringement creates a statutory liability. Therefore any intelligent 
open source project would just change its name. This would not be a smart 
strategy for eliminating open source and I *strongly* doubt red5 is at any risk 
from this kind of a plan.
