If you do change the name, I hope you'll make a concerted effort to notify downstream users, like mavros, that use "apm" in their trees (see, e.g., https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/blob/master/mavros/launch/apm.launch).

I'm sure it will take some time to replace all the references but we can start with the wiki and out on the forums. Like bill I'll probably also use the short form of just "copter" a lot. -Randy |

I think we can make it stick if we on the Dev and testing teams don'twaver and use the ardu-name.

I suspect we will talk about this a bit more on the dev call. I don't think we can come to an agreement on a new name but I think we can agree to drop one of our existing names. So I think we agree to drop "ArduCopter" in place of "APM:Copter" as the official name and just "copter" as the unofficial short-form.
Open Source was suggested earlier in this thread and that it is too close to the Open Pilot project's name.
Another suggestion, Open Source Autopilot? Think OSAcopter, OSAplane, OSArover etc. All of those names roll off the tongue fairly nicely without having to spell it out like APM. Or a more generic one (without reference to a pilot) that could apply to all sorts of vehicles, Open Source Operator, "OSO", OCOcopter, OSOplane, OSOrover etc.+1 on doing a poll

I like to propose that a contest be opened up on DIY-Drones to generate a new name. Maybe 3DR could sweeten the pot with a prize for the winner of the contest. I think all would be pleased at the results and it gives the community pride in continuing to the future name.
Just tossing in two cents.
