     The word "Lycan" is derived from the word
     "lycanthrope," meaning someone who suffers
     from lycanthropy; "the professed ability or
     power of a human being to transform into a
     wolf, or to gain wolf-like characteristics."

 While referencing pop culture may signal that even computer security geeks have a sense of humor, I'd prefer that future repository names more clearly indicate their purpose.

 The word "proxy" has a technical meaning; the proposed repo should as well.  Because the code translates from OpenC2 to native Cisco IOS, I'd suggest something like:

 openc2-iosacl-translator
 openc2-iosacl-adapter
 openc2-iosacl-shim

 My personal preference is for "adapter", but any technically descriptive term would be fine.
