I don't think the name of an engine or program matters one bit, unless it is
offensive or something, like if you named your program "child molestor" or
something, then that's not good. I believe Yace comes from the unix world, and
yacc (yet another c compiler), but I'm not sure. If so, it seems clever enough
for me, and certainly more clever than most names.
