> Zanzibar was not the original name of the system. It was originally called "Spice". I have read Dune more times than I can count and an access control system is designed so that people can safely share things, so the project motto was "the shares must flow"

Yeah, that's kinda understandable. Although I'm not sure how the current name fits the project any better.

It sounds pretty appropriate. This is another SF reference "Stand on Zanzibar", one of the earliest inspirations for cyberpunk, in which we are routinely remembered that all of humanity would be able to stand on the small island of Zanzibar, but that growth is problematic.

For others that were confused as I was: SF here is Science Fiction not San Francisco.
