Nitpick, but wouldn't "eponymous" imply that the framework was named after the company? In fact, it was the other way around. "Qt Software" was just the renamed Trolltech as it became a division of Nokia.
- cperciva 17y agoThe word "eponymous" has two meanings: "Something named after a person", and "A person after whom something is named" (both in English and in the original Greek word from which "eponymous" is derived). I don't think it's much of a stretch to broaden the usage by replacing "person" with "piece of software"; in which case it would be entirely valid to refer to "the eponymous framework" in the second meaning of the word.
