To be precise, only one image had the tagline, I'd assumed that was an example tagline, given that there were obvious licencing issues with "Java" and "Pure Java". > It's likely that Sun has no issues with using the tagline, but it's > taking some time to get this clarified.

All but one of the images did not include the tagline with the trademark, so there is nothing stopping us getting some image up on the site. > I wanted to see what you all felt about removing the tagline, at least > for now.
