From The Linux Foundation

LI18NUX (Linux Internationalization Initiative) has changed its name to OpenI18N (Open Internationalization Initiative). This was done to better reflect the groups open source activities that go well beyond Linux.

We have also changed the name of the standard from LI18NUX2000 Amendment 4 to OpenI18N 1.2. OpenI18N is being developed by a global body of Open Source developers, so our new workgroup name better reflects the fact that while the standard is built on Linux, the framework is truly open. This allows for the adoption of the standard by any computer operating system. This is Open Source development at its best.
