Shouldn’t a woke company appropriating the tribal name, “Apache” be consumed with replacing the name and paying exorbitant homage for the offense it instigated?

If you think that open source entities such as Apache are right of center or even middle of the road, I’ve got some swampland for sale.

True, they should not be hypocrites, and immediately change their name to nutless wonder or something

We are now on Step 1. I wonder how long it will be before we get to Step 2.
Step 1: Cancel all those who say non-PC things.
Step 2: Cancel all those who don’t say PC things. Silence is no longer an option.
Step 3: (Trust me. It ain’t pretty.)

The "Apache" name for the software came about as an in-joke, unrelated to the Indians of that name.
The original release of the webserver was not stable, and needed constant application of updates, called "patches". Someone remarked that it was "a patch-y webserver" and that became "Apache webserver".

“Apache,” I’ve seen that somewhere before. I can’t quite recall. Does it have something to do with “Redskins”? You know - a team that was browbeaten into changing its name as their token contribution to the destruction of Western Civilization by bowing down in abject submission and begging forgiveness.
Will Apache server be forced to change its name to “Server”?
Another person has had his heart cut out on the altar of sacrifice to the great god of WOKENESS, and then the savage tribe assembled to eat his heart.

“For joyless people ultimately impede those that do find joy in what they do.” That guy is exactly right.

He also said
” “If speech is not allowed to be offensive, it would not need protection,” he said. ®”
And
He asked them to
” “another organization of fools that sway in the breeze of the mob’s zeitgeist.”
Lol, he does have a way with words

Much of open source software has gone woke as they’ve all adopted “codes of conduct” and are working further to be more subversive - including dictating who may use their “free” software (IE No GOP)
Cancel culture is all over software dev.
This includes Linux and Python.

Rodriguez argues that "woke culture" is a creation of "Big Tech," and that it serves to protect the industry's economic monopoly "by monopolizing the ideology of the people."LOL Someone 'gets it'....
