When I do a search, I normally use Java in the search.
'Java Powered Open Source Database'; seems to be getting a bit too
wordy. 'Java Powered Database' looks good, but so does 'Open Source
Database'. It would be nice to have Java in the tagline, but if it's
too much of a pain, then the least resistance is sometime the best
route, although not always the perfect one.
I think Open Source Database is getting to the generic stage, although
one could argue that Java Powered is also generic. I would ignore all
pains, and try to see what people not related to the project think.
Don't let them think about it, get the first reaction. Otherwise they
will do exactly what I am, accept any of the above :-)
Just my thoughts...

I'm not that attached to it. Open Source Database is fine with me.

I'm talking with the Java folks about our proposed tagline "Pure
Java Database." It turns out the term "Pure" is not recommended as
it implies an old regime of "pure Java" testing and the associated
logo that caused a lot of issues.
One person recommended "Java Powered Database". What do you
think? If this is amenable, I can pass this by the legal folks.
If enough feel strongly about having "Java" in the tagline, then
that's the route we should pursue (and thank you for taking this on).
Personally I don't have strong opinions, can live without "Java".
Roger's latest tagline, "Open Source Database", is a nice fit and
would require no legal approval.
But what do others think?
The more I think about this, the less I like depending on obtaining
permission for the tagline.
David, as the champion of keeping "Java" in the tagline, how strongly
do you feel about retaining it?
