Yes! We are big fans
How do y’all avoid lawsuits and stuff? I always wonder that about Palantir and Anduril and all those other companies. Did you have to ask permission? Or is this just a run it til there’s a lawsuit because you’re in a different industry thing?
We were curious as well, but after some research when we named the company we discovered that names (even distinctive ones) can't be copyrighted just trademarked. Of course IANAL, so do your own digging :)
Heh, I thought it was L1, symbolising both aerospace (Lagrange point) and “close-to-hardware” (cache).

(odin means one in some languages)
