Given Gruber's love of all things Bond, I respect that the name comes from the first Bond girl (and great cocktail) Vesper Lynd.

Edit: Ah, their company's name is "Q Branch" which is the division that provides all of Bond's gadgets.

Imagine someone creating "Imperial Studios" that released their new "Luke" and "Darth" apps.

Yes. The company is called Q Branch.

I'm pretty sure it's a Bond reference.

It's the name of James Bond's signature martini. The LLC's name, Q Branch, refers to the R&D wing of MI6.
