> There's also a story behind that project name. That is not the original project name. The original project name was force-removed by my SVP. Once my hands are free again, I can explain
> 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"
