Right this is where I got it from - I  mentioned this as Derby is an Apache (2.0) based project - Hence, am curious as to what the trademark issue would be really for a tagline such "Open Source Database" (the one you mentioned) - is a separate license needed or not?

For convenience, the OSI make copies of approved licenses available and
Apache 2.0 is an approved license (see
