"By the people and for the people"? What's up with the political message on top of this?

• vdaniuk 11y ago
  Do you have a problem with that?
  • Udo 11y ago
    No, I'm curious. Aren't you? Or does everyone besides me already know what it means and what the connection is to the software?
    • vdaniuk 11y ago
      Yeah, I am curious, too. I misjudged the tone of your comment, bad assumption on my part.

      Isn't the person (team?) who makes Autoprefixer Russian? I wonder if this is a subtle swipe at the political climate there.

      It doesn't necessarily seem _political_ to use flag mottos for release titles.

    If he or especially she did, the wouldn't be allowed to have a problem with that in Algeria - or any islamic nation for that matter. That's the hilarious irony of it.

  Add in "of the people" and it's the basis of representative democracy.

  Having a little browse through their releases (https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer/releases https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer/releases), it seems like many of them are national mottos, qv. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_mottos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_mottos This one is Algeria's. That's the what - as for the why, your guess is as good as mine.
