java name Re: What is Jakarta Commons?
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.

That is correct. You couldn't have JavaLogging or such, but could
describe it as 'logging solution for Java'.

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.
Anyway, that old domain name was cheesy. :)
