What must I do to call my software based on code from the OpenJDK or phoneME projects “Java”?
The requirements for the use of the “Java” trademark and name have not changed with the open sourcing of the JDK and Java ME source code. The GPL v2 does not include a trademark license – no OSI-approved open-source licenses do. Sun does not currently have a licensing program that permits the use of the “Java” mark in your product or company name, and as owner of the trademark, Sun reserves the right to use the mark “Java” for its own products. You can use a truthful “tagline” however associating your product or company with Java technology, according to Sun’s standard terms for use for trademarks. Please see http://www.sun.com/policies/trademarks/ for more details.
