FWIW, another vote saying that, yeah, `SIGLinux' is snappy, but
it's reasonable to say that name doesn't tell the whole story. A name
change doesn't sound disasterous.
Put another way, silly as it seems, RMS has a point.
Put another way, all you CS people would do good to remember the
origins of this here world. Granted, I'm sure there are many here against
the name change and perhaps RMS who read `Hackers' when they were, oh, in
junior high, and have studied some of the lore of the era of Darkness, and
are you are entitled to your informed opinion, but perhaps some of y'all
might find history to be surprising. It is especially well to remember
this in the era of DMCA and SSCA.
