Understood. I took some time to search for uses of "productname" and there are a large number. Let's just say that I am bringing it up now so that we can start on it early for 4.1. We can add a shortproductname and choose when we say "Apache OpenOffice" and "OpenOffice". We need to do this in a way that helps the ASF and the AOO PMC defend the brand. Since this is large let's let this happen immediately after the 4.0 release. Let it be a branding effort, call it 4.1. > > The intro and about clearly state Apache OpenOffice.

Since it is is legalese it can always be in English. Is this what you mean? If so, good.
