Theres a problem with all these proposals, to quote a quote:
"In Delaware, the name generally must include one of the following words:
association, company, corporation, club, foundation, fund, incorporated,
institute, society, union, syndicate or limited. It must not contain
words like "bank" if there's the potential to mislead the public about
the nature of the business (if not legally a bank).  They also do a
search for existing corporations to make sure that they won't have
multiple corporations with the same name.

FFMpeg Foundation works fine, so would many other combinations."

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your
right to say it. -- Voltaire
