But what if it's used in a company? It's not nice for the company to force an employee to use this.

We're talking one line in a description (and possibly the name, though that's less impactful). Changing it doesn't change the programme. Why do some people get so sensitive about something so trivial and not want to change it?



It's not nice for a company to force an employee to use a library that may or may not offend them but it is nice to ask the person who created that library to change their work to conform to the company for which they likely do not work? That sounds a bit self-centered.

You're joking, right? You're sensitive about the name of something you didn't create and want it changed but it would be wrong for the author to not want to change it because you're sensitive about it?
