Jackrabbit name collision?

[Jukka Zitting <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Just came across this:

    http://jackrabbit.scalableinformatics.com/

Not sure yet what, if anything, to do about it.

BR,

The two questions to ask are:

   1) who used the name first?
   2) is it being used in a way that would intentionally confuse
      people looking for Apache Jackrabbit owned stuff?

It looks like (1) is "the ASF", and (2) is "no", for both of these.
It doesn't look like either one is claiming a trademark on the
word Jackrabbit alone, within our field of use, so we don't have
any need to be concerned.  If the question comes up, we just point
them to our public archives as evidence of prior use.

There's also "Jackrabbit reporting",

Remember that the official name of this project is "Apache
Jackrabbit", so there's probably not much to do.
