I think this submission is related to yesterday's discussion on Github's banning of the word "retard". Some people pointed out that git is a "bad word" and they should censor projects that use the word, such as <a href="http://github.com/git/git" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/git/git</a><p>The word as its used today means a person who is “pig headed, thinks they are always correct, argumentative”. The original meaning was "a person of illegitimate parentage". If we applied Github's logic to this, it is clear that people born out of wedlock feel unwelcome in the open source community.
