Since 2010, Blink is the best real-time communications open-source client using SIP protocol. The software is cross platform available for Linux, Windows and Mac users and is packaged under the name blink for Debian and Ubuntu Linux systems.  The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an IETF-defined signaling protocol widely used for *controlling communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP)*. Blink software is a registered   trademark in the Netherlands and is present in Apple Mac Store since January 6th, 2011 having 5 star reviews from end-users http://icanblink.com/reviews.phtml

h2. Unfair competition 
20 1 Adrian Georgescu
21 17 Adrian Georgescu
With the launch of Google Blink web engine on April 3rd, 2013, both projects Google Blink and AG Projects Blink from http://icanblink.com overlap massively in scope, nature and purpose. While the webkit fork can be used for more purposes than Blink SIP client, the explicit adoption of RTCWEB standards into blink fork of webkit, Google library competes direct with the purpose and addresses the same market of Blink SIP client using the same name.

Quote from http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-overview-06:

The goal of the RTCWEB protocol specification is to specify a set of protocols that, if all are implemented, will allow *an implementation to communicate with another implementation using audio, video and data sent along the most direct possible path between the participants*

Since the launch of Google fork search results about Blink SIP client have been flushed away, only Google relevant results appear.
