== Meaning of the name == The name for Hamakor was offered by Ira Abramov.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/discussions/2015-June/005794.html|title=A post on Hamakor's mailing list, June, 2015 (Hebrew)}}</ref> It was offered after a series of Linux related names was offered, as a name that is not specifically related to Linux (as opposed to free software at large) on one hand, and yet does have a Linux specific reference hidden in it. The word "Makor" in Hebrew means "source" (as in [[Open-source model|open source]]), but also "beak", being a hidden reference to [[Tux (mascot)|Tux]] being a bird. The original name as submitted to the registrar of non-profits was "Hamakor β '''The''' Israeli Society for Free and Open Source Software". The registrar struck down "the", claiming Hamakor has no right to claim exclusivity.
