             Summary: Java/Scala package names in ASF context
                 Key: LEGAL-625
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-625
             Project: Legal Discuss
          Issue Type: Question
            Reporter: J-L

We're discussing within the Apache Pekko community, which Java/Scala packages names to use.

The discussion is between:
 # _pekko_ short and aligns with the projects previous package name style
 # _org.apache.pekko_ longer, but in line with the ASF conventions.

Note: Maven org/group ID is not at discussion, so will be _org.apache.pekko_

Part of the discussion ends up wondering whether using option 1 will cause trouble later down the road, for intermediate incubator releases or even graduation. We certainly don't want to land in a situation where we need a rename 2 years from now.

During the discussion it was brought up that there might be legal or trademark hurdles, which leads to raising the issue here.

If there's a risk at veto's there's not much point in discussing it further.
