Opus's contributing codecs were called CELT and SILK. The IETF working group name was just "CODEC". The name "Opus" was chosen at the end. I imagine a similar procedure will happen in the NETVC working group.
- shmerl 11y agoYou mean you expect other major codecs to be merged with Daala and out of respect for the contribution there will be a change of name?
