That "plus codes" (always lower case, similar to "postal codes") are the things that baseline humans and postpeople are going to use to find things on this big blue/green orb we live on; and
That "Open Location Code" (always singular, always upper case, a proper noun) is the technology that developers will use to create the plus codes.
This messaging is frustrated by several inconsistencies in this repository.
These words literally mean "forks of the Open Location Code repository". Instead those should be referring to probably "plus codes" and or "Open Location Code".
Rename all implementations to "Open Location Code".
Implementations here are named "PlusCodes" "Plus+Codes" "Plus Codes" and more. These violate the naming established above and contribute to confusion.
Every implementation Google publishes (i.e. in this repository) should be named just "Open Location Code".
It is not established that "Open Location Code" is a name that is dedicated to the public domain. i.e. I'm not sure if it is appropriate for me to write an Open Location Code implementation and then name that implementation, for example, "Solidity Open Location Code". This could be a separate issue.
