Because, speaking as one who was once VERY involved in the
COBOL world (I wrote a large chunk of what is now the Computer
Associates Realia COBOL compiler for the PC), and still keep
contact with it, this is standard usage. All the books on my
shelf use the spelling COBOL, as do typical software products.
I never see anyone in that area using the Cobol spelling.
