IIRC 'Quantum' was renamed to 'Neutron' due to the trademark issue.
I don't think reverting it to 'Quantum' resolves the issue.
When we chose a new name, the foundation checked the legal/trademark issue,
so I think it is better to contact the OpenStack foundation or discuss
it in the legal-discuss ML.

"Newton" release of "neutron" is confusing though :(
