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.

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.
