BSD-licensed Dragonfly vs. DragonFly BSD?

There's an existing project called DragonFly BSD. It's at http://www.dragonflybsd.org/ , in development since 2004 - I'm one of the developers.

Is there any chance that a name other than Dragonfly can be used for this product? Given that it also used the BSD term because of the license (which I'm happy about!), it's showing up in searches.

It's already hard enough to explain to people that BSD isn't Linux; it would make life a lot easier to not have to differentiate between Dragonfly and DragonFly.

avatarI used to be a developer for DragonFly BSD and personally I don't mind the name 'clash'. It will provide exposure for both projects in my opinion.
