Would it make sense to call it openlldpd ?

I think it is worthwhile to distinguish  lldpd from openlldpd

it is worth distinguishing the OpenBSD daemon from the other older daemon
has an established name...

for what its worth the naming of httpd was a disaster because it is shared
with apache ...and trying to find information in the internet on httpd is
confusing for users because of Apaches huge install base and article
reference base...
