What is the difference between the "lib" and "library" folder?

Does anyone know the difference between the lib and library folder? example please see this website; https://github.com/ansible/ansible

Is it just a name difference?

There isn't any real standard.

Generally speaking: lib directories contain software libraries, and library doesn't have any standard meaning.

In this case, lib/ contains the Ansible library its self, where library/ contains scripts which users of Ansible might find useful; the scripts depend on Ansible, but Ansible does not depend on the scripts.
