no tag line would be fine with me. If we use the java tagline the
lawyers must make sure that once we use it there is no way in the future
that it's use could be limited.

I think we could move the tagline out of the image, at least on our
home page.
BTW, things are looking very good for our use of the word "Java" as a
modifier, including "Pure Java Database" or "Java Open Source
Database". I will get you details once I have them.

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?
My concern was using the words "open source", but other email from Dan
indicates that this shouldn't be an issue.
But I seriously wonder if we want to have a tagline that could require
explanation -- and translation, as Dan also pointed out.
I think no tagline would be fine.
I noticed, however, that a Google search for "open source database"
did not hit our website in at least the first 10 pages, but did see
many
other open source database alternatives there. I am guessing that tag
line would add us to the search, but perhaps there is something else we
could do with our website to put us there.
The tagline is part of the image -- does google index images?
