Would "flaccidsoftware" be a tautology?

No. If it's flaccid it can't be taut.

Actually, what I think they're saying is "it's boring, tedious,
plain-vanilla applications software, so let us write it for you."
That's actually not a bad pitch; most programmers will want to do the
tricky stuff themselves, like RTOSs and such, but might be glad to
contract out the grunt work.

Kelsey Grammer the actor, on some talk show, mentioned that most pepole
mispronounce "flaccid". He says, "It's not 'flassid', it's 'flack-sid'."
He gave a couple of other examples of 'cc' words that sound 'k-s', but I
can't recall at the moment - maybe 'success'.

And actually, upon checking the link, and John Larkin's comment, I can see
the point of the enterprise, albeit I still think the name is, well, Vapid. ;-)
