Yes, but in this case we were using it first, not Sun. Similarly, Apache
Avalon was in existence long before Microsoft exposed it as a code name.
But as you said, we can just refer to it as Apache Janus. AFAIK, it only
becomes an issue of someone else tries to claim a trademark.

IMHO it's usually always better to avoid taken names if possible.
That said, if a used name is still chosen or it's less than trivial to
change it, it's still usually not a problem: in this case the name would
be "Apache Janus", not "Janus". This is how we deal with MS "Avalon" or
Sony's "Cocoon".

I don't think so but it would be good to get someone like Noel's opinion
on this one.
