Hello @bluebat, thanks for bringing up this issue. I thought about it and I agree with you it's a bit unfortunate that there was a project with the same name. I did some research and there are at least three other calculators with that name. I've been on the other side of this issue too, because I have the projects Ohm, Cuba, Cargo, and later on other projects with the same name came out. I think the fact of having name clashes is hard to avoid, especially when people "create" the same name independently. The text editor I use is called "vis", which happens to also be the name of a tool created by Kernighan a very long time ago. In the case of clac, it is not an acronym but just "calc" reversed, to represent the fact that it's a calculator and that it uses Reverse Polish Notation. At the time of naming this tool I checked the repositories of some package managers and found it was available. I think at this point, given the fact that clac has been around for a while and there are packages available for some platforms, and especially considering that it was co-invented and not copied, I will leave it as is. If the other tool needs to be packaged for another platform there are always options to deal with the issue. I'm sorry I couldn't give you the answer you were expecting, and I really hope you understand my reasons. Thanks again for your suggestion.
