Why not? I was under the impression Jabber, Inc sub licensed the 
trademark to the JSF?

IMO over here in the UK lots of people know about and use the Jabber 
name to describe the network, its even been featured in UK PC magazines 
about instant messaging, and personally throwing away all this past 
marketing is a bit silly and could confuse things further for the end 
users who have already heard of Jabber (also hardly anyone i've spoken 
to about it automatically assumes that Jabber Inc is the defacto 
supplier), but that's just my opinion.
