SCSL already taken (Score:1)

Isn't that the Sun Community Source License?

I'm not sure and I don't care enough to check, but since Sun went GPL with Java, I'm not sure if SCSL is used by anyone anymore.

Be careful with equating Perl with SCSL, though. With the recent questions surrounding the Artistic License [perl.org], unattentive people might get the impression that Perl has abandoned the Artistic License in favor of the Sun license.

  I saw that turn up a few links down on a Google search. My opinion is that almost any short acronym already stands for something (e.g. the results above the Sun results), and that one is a License, and this one will be a Language, therefore there shouldn't be any confusion, and I'll appropriate the acronym for my own nefarious purposes. And besides, this thread already shows up at the top of a Google search for "SCSL" and "scuzzle" :-)
