It is the acronymn that they use (I googled for "define: AWS" rather
than "AWS" and didn't see and had forgotten about Amazon Web Services).

If I'm wrong on that, I think it's a fine choice.

Actually, there might be more of a chance of getting a new identity
to stick by calling it "Apache Web Server (AWS)" and then referring
to the abbreviation AWS everywhere. Then one could say "It is not
'Apache', it is 'Apache Web Server' or 'AWS' for short", and people
might start using the new abbreviation. As I said before "HTTPD" is
ugly - it also sounds to my Unix hacker's ears like an anonymous HTTP
daemon and looks like a random string of five consonants. "AWS" is
easier to spell out, and doesn't seem to be in use for any other
technical project or body (having googled for "define: AWS"). It has
a certain similarity to "IIS", which might not be a bad thing.
