...eceived a polite but firm letter informing me that Squish is a registered trademark (for a mail transport system). Mike Whitson, a contributor to the cause in the early days, suggested the name 'OggSquish' as a replacement. An 'Ogg' is a tactical maneuver from the network game 'Netrek' that has entered common usage in a wider sense. From the definition: 3. To do anything forcefully, possibly without consideration of the drain on future resources. "I guess I'd better go ogg the problem set that's due tomorrow." "Whoops! I looked down at the map for a s...

Hi, I've already sent this to feedback@vorbis.com, but I got no response and this might be more correctly placed here anyway, so here is a revised vesrion. I have one thing to criticize, which is the file extension *.OGG. It's ambigous (the Netrek meaning) and using it for both video and audio seems confusing.

...Whatever advantage Ogg Vorbis may have over MP3 in audio quality, it lacks when it comes to a pithy name. Mr. Montgomery explains that "Vorbis" is the name of a villain in a science-fiction novel by Terry Pratchett, while "Ogg" is a popular tactic in an online game called "Netrek." The Ogg maneuver, says Mr. Montgomery, is "a kamikaze attack to achieve what you want without any consideration of the circumstances." That definition, though, also applies to the outsized role that the Ogg Vorbis project has played in his life. Born to a blue-collar family in Oh...
