Weeeell....

FreeWire sounds much more like a thing for freely wireing together free audio
apps in a free way.

freewire.org has gone, laaga.org hasn't.

There are allready lots of things called FreeWire (bands, isps etc.),
Laaga appears to be a Hindu word, but appart from that there the only hits
on google are linux audio related.

FreeWire may piss off Steinberg, while this may be and end in itsself,
look what happend to Killustrator. I'm not too hot on trademark laws, but
they definatly frown on that sort of thing.

FreeWire sounds vaguely like drugs reference, LAAGA sounds like a Beer
reference ;)

Pretty 50/50 imho.

- Steve
