You are right, it is a good litmus test.

I suppose it depends on which battle you’re choosing to fight.

When I enter such orgs, I join to fix the org. And I want every tool at my disposal to do it.

I love turnarounds. But they require careful management of energy. So if I have an opportunity to convince someone to change a name now, it saves me a bunch of energy later.

FWIW, I learned this while getting both React and Clojure approved for internal use at a Fortune 100 co. Took me weeks. Both had problematic licensing issues, both of which could have been avoided if the authors had spent 10 extra minutes clarifying a few small things a few years before.
