That page is very misleading, and there was a long discussion of this
topic elsewhere.

Look at the example just above the requirement:

"The Apache Xerces XML parsing library is easily configurable and
compliant with current standards"

Yes, in some sense, Xerces is an adjective there, but really what the
senator is trying to say is to construct a particular noun phrase.
AIUI, trademarks need to be used as if they are adjectives.

For example:

The Hoover vacuum cleaner is versatile
NOT
The Hoover is a versatile vacuum cleaner


We will change our one sentence description to this:
"The Apache OpenNLP library is a machine learning based toolkit for the
processing of natural language text."

What do you think?

Anything else in the RC 5 which should be fixed? We will soon prepare
our next release candidate, vote on our development list and will hopefully be back
with a new release vote here next week.

Thanks,
Jörn
