Pity about the name. Even when management or clients have been open to doing things differently, I simply will not risk uttering the name of the software or suggesting we try it out. I think GNU should be respected in the name, but the rest is presumably a joke for immature people. Not a footing I really want to be on when trying to justify something..

    Image manipulation program would be a very generic and bland name. And you are always free to not use the full acronym. Or hyphenate it to rework it. GNU-IMP. The G in Gimp was from an acronym already, so loping it off is kind of messy. And an imp with its relation to sprites with their relation to games and rasterization would make for a decent rebrand.

    It doesn't matter what I call it. The name is all over the branding, the web domain, documentation, etc. And higher ups - regardless of my own feelings - do have issues with details like those.

    It might be different in a startup with people well entrenched in open source, etc., but corporate types are different.

    Are you preemptively clutching other people's pearls?

    Consider that I know these people very well. Also from experience, they avoid any headaches related to something that potentially runs perpendicular to their stated policies (overseen by HR) of inclusion of people with disabilities, respectful work environment, etc.
