Actually, you're correct on this point.  A month ago, you would have
been wrong.

We've always followed Sun's fair use guidelines for using the Java
mark.  See http://java.sun.com/nav/business/trademark_guidelines.html.
No more than a month ago, they allowed anyone to call their Java
products, "XYZ for Java".

The new fair use naming convention is to add a tagline which says
"Java Edition" or "For the Java Platform".

So this results in a name change (yet again) to "GNU Classpath,
Essential Libraries for the Java Platform", or GCELFTJP, for short.
