Why not name it after it target and limits? This 'alternative' flash media server is for developers and so is limited to 10 maximum connections. If you want more connections you have do pay exactly the same amount of the Adobe Flash Media Server. The Adobe Flash Media Server has a Dev Edition too limited to a maximum 10 connections. Name it Wowza Media Server Dev Edition and clearly state the limits, please.

Just to correct a misconception, Wowza Pro does not cost the same as FMS. Wowza Pro Unlimited edition is priced at $995. It is a fully interactive Flash media server just like Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS) which is priced at $4500. So Wowza Pro is 75% less. A full comparison is available at http://www.wowzamedia.com/comparison.html. A free Wowza Pro10 edition is in fact intended for developers. So calling it a developers' edition is fair.
