      Right. OpenPGP is the protocol. PGP is the original app, which predates the spec.

          PGP is a different piece of software though. Would you refer to Firefox as “Chrome” because both of them can use the same protocol (HTTP)?

          This reminds me of my parents referring to every games console as a “PlayStation” lol

            Except PGP is a substring of the ‘technically correct’ term. It’s like someone saying you’re playing on your Nintendo - “Um, actually it’s a Nintendo 64.”
