I'm reminded of when some Christian groups called for a boycott of Apple because they had an OS project code-named "Darwin." Some people will just go out of their way to look for reasons to take offense. I'm reminded that the SATAN network scanner project used to ship a utility with the source code that would patch it to rename it "SANTA". I suppose someone could fork a new BSD distribution with an angel for a logo, to mollify these sorts of people. Call it BlessedBSD (BleSseD?) or something. ;)
