I understand there must be confusion.  SW releases have been named  
with 'Om' since the very first release.  We will continue in this path  
in the future.

Yes.

We are an open-source company.   These names have been defined by  
different, paid employees from all over the world at different times.   
I understand it may be confusing, but I would not change these now,  
unless they are specifically aimed at a sw release.  these names have  
been established and there is little value in changing them, just like  
we do not want to change from 'Om' to something else.
