It may be buried in their site somewhere, but I doubt it. It's never expanded.

By the way, if this is the SDL you're looking for, I got the expanded name from the person that answers their phones. :)

There are many companies called SDL. Can you clarify?
It may be this one as well: The Simple Declarative Language (http://sdl.ikayzo.org/docs/display/SDL/Home)
Wikipedia English - Free Encyclopedia
• SDL
SDL may refer to:
Simple Declarative Language - SDL Language Homepage
Simple DirectMedia Layer, a cross-platform multimedia library.
Specification and Description Language
Scene Description Language, the lanuage used by POV-Ray

There could be a number of companies calling themselves SDL.
This one derives the name from Scott, David L.:

But you are probably asking about SDL International. You can go to www.sdl.com/copyright.htm. There are both a phone number and a "contact us" link. Write to them or call on the phone. I am sure they'll be happy to answer your question.
