It is a problem of language. Even in "Apache Foo library" Foo remains a noun (or rather part of a compound noun) in German and likely other non-English languages, it still is not an adjective at all. I for one have accepted this as "I don't understand it and leave any changes to native speakers" at this point. Not only do I not understand the linguistic differences, I don't understand the relevance to trademark law either. At one point in time I've learned that I don't need to understand everything :-) Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
