This is the one that came to mind for me when I saw Oodle: https://www.radgametools.com/oodle.htm
Same. Oodle is extremely well known in the game dev sphere. It’s literally baked into PS5 silicon for hardware decompression.
Thanks for the heads up. we did check on IP/trademarks just to be sure to avoid violations.
Oodle is a registered trademark:

RAD is now owned by Epic Games (acquired in 2021) so they have very deep pockets.

A lot of people, including myself, were clearly initially confused that there must be some association given you are using this name in a not-entirely-unrelated field.

IANAL but I hope you're real sure that you are legally in the clear before you commit too deeply to the name.

Thanks for your inputs, we will followup.
There is this obscure website, google.com I think is it's name.
