That's almost certainly where it came from. This might be hard to believe, but Linux devs are often huge nerds.

    Oh I’m sure, that word isn’t used for a lot of other things. It’s neat how much anarchist and socialist lore is hidden inside of FOOS and Linux tech terminology, including the word Ansible. So refreshing compared to closed source devs unironically naming their products after murderous AI or what have you.
