Strictly, the hole through which melted metal is poured into the
gate, and thence into the mold.

The waste piece of metal cast in this hole; hence, dross.
SPRUE is both the
name of the company, and also a metaphor for the company's role.
The company is not important, what is important is the products
of services that the company can provide to the customer. Just as
the sprue holds the pieces in a plastic model kit but is not part
of the finished product, Sprue and SprueGames provide support for
the development and sales of products like Salvo & OUROBOROS.
