Given that the Hudson logo is a butler (looking rather similar to an old
"Ask Jeeves" logo -- Jeeves is also a butler of course), and given that
Hudson was the butler in the early 1970 BBC series "Upstairs
Downstairs", I propose the inference is fairly obvious.  However all
this is speculation, instead of which we probably should just ask
Kohsuke.
