I believe (but I Am Not A Lawyer) that we can use the term "Java" to describe something on the homepage, but that it cannot be the title of a project, nor could it be used as a domain name. Most sourceforge projects that do so are probably in error from a legal standpoint.
That is correct. You couldn't have JavaLogging or such, but could describe it as 'logging solution for Java'.
geir
Anyway, that old domain name was cheesy. :)

Any idea how exactly the java trademark works with respect to our usage of it?
For example, if we're talking about language based portals/foundries, can we actually call it the 'Apache Java Portal'? Or some such.
How do Sourceforge get away with:
http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/ ?
Presuming Jakarta remains as is, but some kind of Java-ASF-portal is also created, I'm just wondering how the word 'Java' can be linked to the name etc.
