Hi Proper,

Remember, with open source software, you are free to call it what you want!
I know of a private company who has now forked DHIS2 and are calling it
something entirely different, for their own reasons. In other countries,
DHIS2 has been  branded differently, according to their own acronyms.

I would however, not expect a change on this, given the long history. :)

My two cents,
Jason
