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".
Be that as it may, I self identify as an apache and find it offensive 😆
The actual history behind something does not matter when it comes to “woke”ness, cancel culture, and their revolution. What matters is the perceived offensiveness. Eventually the name will be changed .
