[squid-users] What is in a name? Squid vs SQuID

[Grant Taylor]

Hi,

I ran across the following statement referring to Squid in an ancient 
Sys Admin article talking about Linux Transparent Proxy.

> Source Quench Introduced Delay (SQuID) is a popular freeware proxy 
> server for UNIX machines (see "Software Resources" sidebar for more 
> information).

Where the "Software Resources" sidebar has:

>  Squid can be obtained from any of following sites:
> 
> http://squid.nalanr.net
> ftp://squid.nlanr.net
> 
> The Squid Web site also contains a wealth of installation and 
> configuration information. Squid manuals are also available from 
> this site.

Does anyone know any history on Squid's name?  Was SQuID the proper name 
for the Squid caching proxy at one point in time?  Or is this perhaps a 
bad expansion in the article?

Link - Linux Transparent Proxy (Sys Admin, May 1999, Volume 8, Issue 5, 
Article 3)
