        EULACHON - initial letters of ... (Had to look up definition, never heard of candlefish.)

        Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

            Pipped by @PKFox, but correct. Well done! To be fair, I hadn't heard of the word either, until it appeared in a newsletter from newsletter@howtogeek.com on 27th July which said

            Did You Know?
            The eulachon, a fish found in the Pacific Northwest, is a slender but very fatty fish known as the “candlefish” due to the way indigenous people would dry the fish and then burn them as a candle-like source of light.

            It was the initial letters (EULA) that hit me as the idea for the clue.
