In this context, "OpenBSD" is a proper noun, and therefore follows rules appropriate for such names. See also "OpenSSH", etc. camel case (and other such conventions) is used for variable names, function names, and sometimes program names. "identifier names" is the technical term for the kinds of names such rules generally apply to. Do not blindly try to apply rules in situations where they do not make sense. Part of knowing a rule is knowing what situations the rule applies to. You would not name your children using camel case, for example. -ken
