I had not thought about the naming of Apache the software despite it describing so many "Native American people inhabiting the southwest United States and northern Mexico." I also realize now the use of a feather as the logo.

Previous HN discussion on the Apache software relationship with the Apache people:

I participated in that discussion, and it was a scummy rewrite of history then. As far as I can tell, they have no relationship to any of the various Apache tribes.
