Java is the model we've been looking at to hammer out the details on usage.
Take a look at:

http://www.sun.com/policies/trademarks/

for details.  We're moving as fast as possible on this.

You can't get away with calling a product the "Java Advanced Intranet

call it the "Advanced Intranet Server for Java" though. I agree that
conditions for use for Jabber need to be set soon  ;-)
