.. _lino.name: About the name "Lino" ===================== Lino is a common Italian forename whose most famous bearer was probably `Lino Ventura `_. Yes, we wanted **a human name** for our framework. Lino makes it possible to write complex applications that are like children: they grow day by day, giving parental joy to those who collaborate to their development. "Lino" is also an acronym of the words **Linked objects**. Read more about this in :doc:`values`. Note that Lino the framework has nothing to do with the `German company of same name `_. We don't feel disturbed by them and hope that they don't do so either. We don't have any motivation to register a trademark or to prevent others from using that beautiful name.
