Kopia also means a copy in Polish and the author is Polish. The first paragraph in the software's Github page also confirms the Polish origin of the name: https://github.com/kopia/kopia/ https://github.com/kopia/kopia/
Tangentially, as far as OSS names of Polish go, kopia is pretty tame. A popular deduplicating app is named czkawka (hiccup). Now that choice is just mean towards non-Polish speakers. :)
- traceroute66 3y ago> as far as OSS names of Polish go, kopia is pretty tame Well indeed. There's a project on GitHub with 1.7k stars called GitKurwa[1]. Now that's proper untame Polish. ;-) [1] https://github.com/jakubnabrdalik/gitkurwa https://github.com/jakubnabrdalik/gitkurwa
- semi-extrinsic 3y agoOh my, this is a fantastic view of life - from the czkawka github page: Czkawka is a Polish word which means hiccup. I chose this name because I wanted to hear people speaking other languages pronounce it, so feel free to spell it the way you want. This name is not as bad as it seems, because I was also thinking about using words like żółć, gżegżółka or żołądź
