Frankly, [email protected] will say that we are incubating, and that the PPMC
should handle this issue.
Now, the rational is that we would not like to have an issue when the
project is promoted to TLP. Such an issue can be some big company
sending The ASF a letter requesting us to change the project name. That
would be not only a legal annoyance, but also a problem if the project
is established as a TLP for a few month.
Here, it's more about mitigating potential problems than to be legally
protected. Remember that legal.a.o is not there to tell us what's right
and wrong (you need to go to court for such decision) but to advise us
about what would be best for the project, legally wise.
You still can send a mail to legal.a.o, it cost nothing.
Now, if you have to pick a new name, just select something that either
is absolutely free (xarkily or tropqualu for instance), or a common name
associated with Apache, for instance Apache Asynchronous Web Framework
(it's just an example).
Be smart :)

I agree on the on this point against AsyncWeb.
Maybe we can extend Deft name with a suffix or prefix :).

I'm -1 on asyncweb. I agree with Niklas. The confusion would be
maximized.
If we really have to change the name, then I guess we should start a
name
survey. If it's avoidable I would be happy :)

I was more thinking of people who might actually know about asyncweb
and it's history. When all of a sudden a new code base occurs under
the same name, I think confusion would happen :-)
