Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS
This reminds me of the PIK image format (a precursor to JPEG XL) whose name happens to be a word for penis in some languages[0]. In the present case "SPH" is a kink/fetish term meaning "Small Penis Humiliation"[1]. I don't know how many people would think of that, though.
I am not sure if the lesson is to try harder to avoid offence, or live with the fact that words can have multiple meanings and we can be "professional" enough to ignore some of those meanings in some contexts.

Google Chrome Is Already Preparing To Deprecate JPEG-XL
Google was a big part of JPEG XL and is actively working on libjxl as well... and JPEG XL is also based on FLIF and google's pik: https://github.com/google/pik so pretty weird.

Pain in the ass
legally they had no choice because jpeg xl is based on flif.info and https://github.com/google/pik but the flif has LGPL license which should open source the rest.. however regardless the media group didn't really do much other than write some standard and slap their name on it. Wasn't their work.
