I agree with you.

If you look at the rationale I gave for the word, they are mostly talking about the project and the product. Only the last one could be considered as directed to the user, a reference to commons universally accessible. Same for Spring and its different meanings: it's one of the 4 seasons (like our cycle of releases), it's the source of the water (the origin of all the editions) and resilience reflecting how united our community is.
