Aaron Swartz may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on. It's now up to us to carry on the fight for which he paid so dearly.

Has anyone proposed naming an "information making free" service after him yet?

There's the "Aaron Swartz Day" which both Internet Archive and EFF celebrate.

Then there's Star Wars, Swartz always being you you, and such (a joke made with Jonathan Schwartz as well). I quite like that saying, but it may be considered cheap/offending by some.

I like that idea but I'd like to reserve it for something that actually makes impact rather than for someone just starting using Aaron's name. Also, I think you should always contact the family first to ask for permission.
