   @bkuhn what's all this about you writing a license called the BMKL?

     @fontana @bkuhn BKML? Beat My Kid License?

     I followed up at http://ur1.ca/9pm0l . I'm surprised I'm being called #troll, when the BMKL thing was the most troll-y thing on the thread.

     @bkuhn Thought just occurred to me & must share before I forget: isn't it !disturbing !AGPL name enshrines name of for-profit company?

     @bkuhn a casual observer might think incorrectly you are now #troll'ing #SPDX

     @bkuhn I'm confused about whether that SPDX thread is about SPDX itself or the standardization of license abbreviations

     @fontana any more than that GNU enshrines name of the proprietary OS that inspired many of its features?

     @lxoliva but #GNU explicitly indicates it's *not* said proprietary OS. Better analogue would be if !LGPL had been named " #Cygnus GPL" !nat

     @fontana, IMO thread is generally about how easy it is to write an #SPDX file & specifically what licenses should be easy to represent w/ it

     @fontana, #troll's rarely offer to do work. OTOH, some seem to think my offer to help #SPDX wasn't genuine merely b/c I couldn't lead it.

     @fontana, Yeah, that was a mistake. It helps that the Affero company is defunct. I always liked that it was the verb "contribute" in Latin.

     @bkuhn I just found out that in #Latin "affero" has stress on first syllable. Arguably we've all been mispronouncing it. !AGPL

     @fontana Crap! I was pronouncing it as in Esperanto/Ido, "aféro".
