Comment (by dbaston):

 The term "right-hand rule" is commonly understood to mean the opposite; if
 you hold your right hand with your thumb facing your face, your fingers
 curl in a counter-clockwise direction. See for example the GeoJSON spec:

 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.6

 Or the GDAL documentation:

 https://www.gdal.org/drv_geojson.html
