Why do we have a dash "-" in the name

Because is a referer to

Huh??
back in the day, we were with pau and nico discussing the name; pau said
he had "smartmesh" in mind, for a similar project, and had actually
already registered several tlds with that.
both of us two disliked the "smart" prefix, and suggested "libre"
instead, which is what we had been using for everything (DeltaLibre,
QuintanaLibre, LibreNet6, and afterwards also libremap)
unfortunately,
libremesh.org was already taken. we discussed some more
alternatives, until someone (pau?) said
libre-mesh.org was available.
none of us 3 liked the hyphen, but it was the best we could do
we agreed we'd need to be very consistent in the "long, canonical name"
to always include the hyphen and avoid confusion, then pau said a
shortname was needed as well, suggesting "lime" - *that's* when the name
really stuck with nico and me :P
after several weeks, i realised the similarity to
open-mesh.org and
thought of it like a funny coincidence; given the good relationship we
have with batpeople, i'd even put it as a tribute :D

i wasn't aware that it was now available.
If it really is, then i agree we should register it.
cheers!
