I'd say NeXT is too close for comfort to NXT, for trademarks it is also not allowed to use something too similar.
I'll check with the Lego people and see if they object to NeXT. Legally I don't know if they can since they can't trademark a common word like Next.
With regards to Steve Job's NeXT, I don't think that's an issue because ours is called leJOS NeXT, not just NeXT. I'm not up on whether it matters which letters are capitalized or not though. NeXT is defunct as far as I know.
At the moment I'd rather keep the existing Lejos project and port it to NXT. Maybe we can even get some interoperation, at least via the host computer.
I don't think I understand what you are saying here exactly. Are you saying to host all the files on the leJOS Sourceforge Project? In other words, would you download the same code that would work with either the RCX or the NXT? Please expand on what you mean by interoperation via the host computer.
Also, the intro page to the developer program says that there will be an NDA: http://mindstorms.lego.com/community/default.aspx
Good point. We could keep the Developer forum private to whoever receives an NXT kit until Lego officially releases the kit and the NDA evaporates.
