Just in case it's not obvious to everyone, the name is a reference to the tee(1) [1] shell command, part of "coreutils" [2]. The manual page begins:
tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files
It's a proper vintage tool, listing RMS as an author.
Edit: less repetitive repetition, added coreutils link.
