We agree.

OpenMoko does not want to reflect any bias towards or against anyone.

We thought we were doing a pretty good job. We carefully avoid using 
USA- or Christian-centric words like "Christmas" and "Thanksgiving", but 
  our use of the word "spring" slipped right by.

Fortunately we have a watchful community to catch our mistakes as 
quickly as possible! Please continue to let me know if we make such 
mistakes in the future.

We thank you for bringing this to our attention.
