+What is the difference between Splint and LCLint?
+
+Before 2002, Splint was known as LCLint. Splint 3.0 is the successor to LCLint 2.5.
+
+LCLint was originally named for LCL, the Larch C Interface Language and lint, a well-known C program checking tool. Because our tool has diverged from LCL, and our focus now is on secure programming, it was renamed Splint. Splint's name has (at least) three interpretations: specifications lint, secure programming lint, and first aid for programmers. Its also easier to pronounce than LCLint.
+
+What is the Splint logo?
+
+Thomas Jefferson's Serpentine Walls at the University of Virginia. The walls are one brick thick, but because of their design are both strong and aesthetic. Like a secure program, secure walls depend on sturdy bricks, solid construction, and elegant and principled design.
