I wasn't part of the team that chose the new name, but I
think it's great, is much less confusing, and will have
a good business appeal.  Plus, it doesn't have the trademark
encumberances that "Dylan" has.

Signed copies of the DRM could certainly be arranged. ;-)
As for Dylan Programming, you'll have to ask the Neil,
Tucker, and Sonya.
