There was a time when developing a project through online collaboration was a novelty, unusual enough to be used as a project name, as in Netlib, NetHack, NetBSD. These have mostly nothing to do with sending packets. Netlib is for numerical computing like LINPACK & BLAS, Nethack is a single-player game. and NetBSD is not purpose-designed for servers. "Net-" was basically today's "open-", "free-", or "libre-"... #retrocomputing
