The plan at the moment is to name the new product "JuiCE". A question to the incubator group - we have researched this name on the web, and could not find any other cryptographic software that had this name. There are of products on sourceforge - a blog tool [4] and a frontend to mpg123 [5] that are both named "juice", but I have to confess to not being enough of an expert on these issues to know if this is a problem or not.
I believe it is /extremely/ unlikely to be an issue legally (no certainties in legal stuff, I'm afraid :-D), especially not if you refer to it as "Apache JuiCE". Those projects may not be so happy with their name being usurped though -- see the firebird/firefox flamewar as an example.
Guideance appreciated.
I'd say: get in touch with the developers of these projects, see what they think. Common sense applies.
