That is not so bad. A quick google search for "span linux" found:

http://www.irisa.fr/lande/genet/span/

which appears to be a user space tool to draw message sequence
charts. Its a French university project. It would be polite to ask if
they mind having a linux kernel module with the same name, just in
case they claim some sort of trademark.

Are you suggesting a mass rename: In the kernel module sources batman
or batman-adv becomes span?
