Probably if I didn't want someone to be able to change that field, I probably should not have made it a configuration option.

Antonio,

I feel as though you are making a few assumptions about our general attitude.
I think the reactions from the original request are fueled more from reliving the frustration of other devices who do not provide a fingerprint in their sdp to actually lock on to behavioral changes that prevent issues that could have been avoided.  *cough* sonus *cough* 

Having people make more noise about the fact that they are using FreeSWITCH is always a good thing but we never aim to force anyone to do something.
One of the true benefits of open source is you can selectively choose to not care at all about someone's mind-melting business requirements that aim to unravel everything. 
(Until you make the mistake of taking them on as a customer =D )

The guy has his param and I trust he is sleeping better now.

I think we need to drop into the real world...

1) Ok .,... Don't forget to say thanks to Debian , CentOs , Fedora , PHP , Python , Microsoft , all the authors of the OpenSource Libs , the creator of Make , the creator of the IDE that the Dev team uses ,  etc etc when you deliver the next project to your client ...

2)
Security trough obscurity != security its always better than nothing. " hey you don't need to guess the
the software I'm using , I'm giving the info for free just find an entry point  and you got it ...."

I could also imagine you agree with showing the version of the software in the HTPP headers (stuff that happens on some webservers/libs ( from my ming i can recall Django?!).

3)
The clients pays it doesn't really care about what software you use ( unless he fears some patent infringement) he wants results.

4)
No , Compliance could be internal or external the end-client could simply say "i don't want the freeswitch brand".

@all
I don't know you guys but my daily work is developing software for some fairly large financial institutions and sincerely i think you are all over reacting to this thing.
Yes if you open-source something you will get part of your software stolen , changed or use in a way you were not expecting and not given credit for , that's life .If you don't want it , close the source , resell it , ask for NDA's , etc.
In my daily work me and my collegues use alot of open source ( contrary to the popular belief) , closed source and everything in between and you don't expect a public statement thanking anyone for anything.

This is the way life works and with open-source this is our current world ( i think the FS Team could even offer a fully custom branded solution) so it could help monetize the project.

And before you start thinking yes i bought G729 licenses , the FS Book even before it was out and no to many miles between me and Gluecon , yes i know airplanes exist :D.

P.S - I Also assume that you all as sysadmins once found a problem that a blogger may have solved and on your final report to the administration you didn't wrote " problem solved by Blogger XXXXXX"....

And never forget he is just the mailman sometimes the boss wants something ( even if not morally correct ) and you have to do it.
But the point raised by Anthony regarding the SDP "freeswitch flag" is important and you be featured on the wiki :)

Ok... Lets look at these...

Branding... I don't want to show people that I'm using F/OSS software for
running my for profit business so I can tell them I'm using either
${some_comercial_platform} or ${we_developed_this_ourselves}

Security/Security Requirements - Security throught obscurity != security...

Client Requirements - That's a new one one... Unless client is <see
branding>

Compliance - isnt this the same thing as see security
