[jira] [Updated] (LEGAL-625) Java/Scala package names in ASF context

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-625?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

J-L updated LEGAL-625:
----------------------
    Description: 
As per threads:
 # [https://lists.apache.org/thread/cjo86gdwvqlqslq68gd0c8hxq6ds6yrz]
 # [https://lists.apache.org/thread/5vw58s7x9gzkt9h627xv705j32fxljc9]

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 project's 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.
