Originally it was short for ETools Modeling Framework, but that was back
in the days of e-business and e-everything, which is of course why we
also ended up with e-clipse, which turned out to be fortunate: we didn't
have to change our acronym despite changing the name from ETools to
Eclipse. So no, it's not short for Ed Merks' Framework.
