Oy , even !fedora uses "ASL 2.0" as its official abbreviation of the Apache License 2.0? !disturbing

@psquid Either relic of the predecessor Apache licenses (which were 'Apache Software License') or association with ASF.

@fontana Ah, I see. Seems a little odd to me that it wouldn't just be abbreviated based on what it currently is, instead of what it was.

Sort of a non sequitur, but nothing tops the time I heard someone call the FSF the BSD. :-)

Agreed on that point, "Please Explain" was extremely enlightening to a 12-year-old me. First time I really "got" science.
-
Still got my copy of it, and it's still nice to read it and be amazed by how simply he explains such un-simple things. :)

Cool, I also read "Please Explain" as a kid. Can't remember at what age, but can't have been too young since English isn't my native lang.:)
