FWIW, articles like this-
http://lwn.net/Articles/340546/
are what formed the impression in me that soas/SugarOnAStick was not in
fact a generic phrase, but instead effectively a brand for a very
specific free product/project/download.
I can certainly imagine an alternate emergence of the phrase as a
generic term instead of a specific one in the news sources that I read,
but that does not seem to be what happened.
