After working for few years at the big corp ( this one was VERY blue), and 
seeing how much value those companies put into protecting their trademark ( IBM 
claims its name is its number 1 asset - worth Billions). It is only right that 
OS companies/projects do the same. JBoss produces a great product, and 
distributs it under an open source license. That fact in itself does not change 
the fact that the trademark is still one of the JBosses's more important 
assets. Under pertinent law if you dont protect it, you loose it - look Xerox 
or Kleanex - so we as developers should not jump in panic everytime someone 
asserts that they do have rights to THEIR trademark. 
On seperate issue.... every developer should READ license of every OS product 
they use.
