"salve" is "hello" in Italian, and even though that is a greeting,
surely that is not what was meant, but rather "slave". So even though
that is less positive, it is at least a technical term with a clear
meaning, so I think Florian's request was to replace "salve" with
"slave" while you are moving the code anyway.
