How to pronounce “GDAL”?

“I pronounce it “goodle”. I had originally thought to call it the “Geospatial
Object Oriented Data Abstraction Library” (GOODAL) to make the right
sound obvious, but I was too lazy to type GOODAL all the time, so I
dropped the OO part. Most folks pronounce the library “gee-dal” which is
ok too but not my preference.” – Frank Wamerdam
