That would be tradema...@apache.org, see also http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ However, I would suggest waiting for Alex's news about what Adobe's position is before doing anything. Alex said "Adobe definitely intends to let Apache use the Flex name" so I don't see an immediate concern. And if the Adobe legal team has concerns, it's more efficient to have them talk directly to the ASF board or trademarks specialists. -Bertrand
