What does "Eris Free" means, from the acronym EFNET

Ok so I have searched google pretty exstensively to find this out, no luck so far . . .

Basically I wanted to know what "Eris Free" means, from the acronym EFNET.

I was thinking that Eris is generally to do with discordianism, but have so far only found it as a reference to eris.berkeley.edu... just figured there would be more to it than that.. maybe.

Not even sure why I am that interested in finding this out, i'm not even into discordianism or anything like that.

Anyway, if anyone knows it would be good to find out.

WTF(6)								 BSD Games Manual							    WTF(6)

NAME
wtf -- translates acronyms for you SYNOPSIS
wtf [-f dbfile] [-t type] [is] acronym ... DESCRIPTION
The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the command line. If the acronym is unknown, wtf will check to see if the acronym is known by the whatis(1) command. If ``is'' is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing the fairly natural ``wtf is WTF'' usage. The following options are available: -f dbfile Overrides the default acronym database, bypassing the value of the ACRONYMDB variable. -t type Specifies the acronym's type. Simply put, it makes the program use the acronyms database named /usr/share/misc/acronyms.type, where type is given by the argument. ENVIRONMENT
ACRONYMDB The default acronym database may be overridden by setting the environment variable ACRONYMDB to the name of a file in the proper format (acronym[tab]meaning). FILES
/usr/share/misc/acronyms default acronym database. /usr/share/misc/acronyms.comp computer-related acronym database. SEE ALSO
whatis(1) HISTORY
wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. BSD
April 25, 2003 BSD
