Name

Kot was attested in historical sources as Binkhell in 1463 (and as Winkell in 1467 and Winckell in 1484). The name Kot is shared by several villages in Slovenia. It comes from the common noun kot 'closed valley, combe', referring to the place where a valley ends, closed in by mountains or hills. The village was known as Winkel in modern German,[2] which has the same meaning.[4]

gollark: And that *also* doesn't stop me from just sticking it on my server and not giving you the binary at all.
gollark: Intellectual property law means that you can't, say, freely give someone else a binary I give you. It doesn't mean you have the source code to it so you can make changes, and it doesn't mean I can't make it only work on one computer (based on windows's "hardware ID" or whatever).
