Hey, I got feedback on this from Paul. He also mentioned that search tool, that Adam winer already used for looking at Trademarks against Trinidad (see [1]). We did also the same for Germany / Europe.
Since we all aren't lawyers I doubt if this is enough. When we all agree, that the name Trinidad (Apache Trinidad) is *safe*, we'd like to start the package renaming. Currently we are under "org.apache.myfaces.adf.***". We'd like to get rid of the adf in our package names.
