Considering the creator of calibre has an explanation of the origin of the name calibre on their website, your rant is a bit risible. Propaganda video? Do you even know what propaganda means to most people?

And perhaps you might also want to consider where Kovid Goyal and family reside? Gentle hint, English is unlikely to be the first language nor is the use of the Latin alphabet the first choice of the majority of residents.

Quote:
The name calibre was chosen by my wife, Krittika. The libre in calibre stands for freedom, indicating that calibre is a free and open source product, modifiable by all. Nonetheless, calibre should be pronounced as cali-ber, not ca-libre.
