Being around for three years and not having anyone contact the project
will not be good enough, although it is promising. The Incubator
status template makes a reference to www.nameprotect.com, but I am not
sure how we go about the search and what is the criteria to pass this
check.
Can anyone from legal comment? (Please reply to all)

Yep, we've seen these before, but the good thing is that they're not
related
in form or function to our project so there shouldn't be any legal
conflict
at least (IANAL, but I think that's the case). Since the joomla
product has
been renamed, I don't think there's any issue there. Also the juniper
product is named slightly different to J - dash - Security, so
they're not
an exact overlap. This coupled with the different target of their
focus
(totally different than ours), I think that makes things 'safe'.
Plus in the last 3 or so years, I'm sure they've seen us (just do
any search
engine lookup for 'jsecurity' and we're always number one), but no
one has
ever contacted us about naming conflicts. I'm fairly sure they
don't care -
if they would have, they'd have said something by now...
At least that's my take on it :)
I wonder if should investigate purchasing a registered trademark
just in
case...

I searched on Google and found these companies using the JSecurity
name:

The latter looks like the JSecurity product got absorbed into a
product
called JDefender. We'll probably need to do a more thorough search.
