>> Question to the people who are objecting to the name: would you object to a punk band that called itself "Tampon"? Would you say things like "this will really harm adoption of your product"? If not, what do you consider to be the relevant distinction between open source software and punk music?
By punk standards, 'Tampon' would be a relatively boring and unimaginative name. However, aren't we comparing apples to oranges?
I used to play in a punk band, during which time I sported a very respectable mohawk. I also wore tweed jackets from the salvation army, moshed and drank aggressively and cursed profusely.
As great fun as that was, I wouldn't do either of these things in a place-that-I-code. Not in a co-working space, not at a coffee shop, and certainly not in my place of employment.
