I think most folk with "OLPC" are referring to the linux distribution rather than the actual laptops. You can download it and get the same thing. I guess the reasoning would be that it's got a simple UI and mesh networking, etc, etc.

I do a google search and end up with "One Laptop Per Child". I don't think that is the proper context.
