names srt and libsrt were found confusing and misleading, because of
similar acronyms used for other multimedia related things which are
pretty well-known and wide-spread already (e.g. SRT subtitles or SRTP

avoid confusion, and Haivision recommended to use "opensrt" naming in
order to distinguish from other similar acronyms.
One is SubRip text, quite a different beast.
SRTP was already a bad name since RTPs and RTSP existed before and are
even closely related.
Right now I'm less concerned about spending time introducing yet another
potentially unsearchable variant since gstreamer is using srt/libsrt
since a while and just feeding any search engine worth its name with
"srt protocol" produces non-misleading links.
