Are you attempting to say that if we use "java" (in lowercase) to refer to a
programming language similar to (but not identical to) Sun's Java, they
can't sue us?  I wouldn't be on it.  If Open Source is properly registered
as a certification mark, I doubt Sun could get away with using lower case
open source either.
