Later, IT Mill Ltd, the company behind the open source Vaadin Framework, changed its name to Vaadin Ltd. In addition to the name change, a pre-release of version 6 along with a community website was launched. It can also be translated from Finnish as "I insist".
The name originates from the Finnish word for doe, more precisely put, a female reindeer. On May 20, 2009, IT Mill Toolkit changed its name to Vaadin Framework. The size of the investment is undisclosed. On September 11, 2008, it was publicly announced that Michael Widenius–the main author of the original version of MySQL–invested in IT Mill, the developer of Vaadin. The first production-ready release of IT Mill Toolkit 5 was made on March 4, 2009, after an over one year beta period.

At the same time, the product license was changed to the open source Apache License 2.0. By the end of the year 2007 the proprietary client-side implementation was abandoned and GWT was integrated on top of the server-side components. It used a proprietary JavaScript Ajax-implementation for the client-side rendering, which made it rather complicated to implement new widgets.
In early 2007 the product name was changed to IT Mill Toolkit and version 4 was released. As a consequence of this, a large part of Vaadin's server-side API is still compatible with Millstone's Swing-like APIs. During 2006 this concept was then developed separately as a commercial product. It introduced an Ajax-based client communication and rendering engine. Development was first started as an adapter on top of the Millstone 3 open-source web framework released in the year 2002.
