I guess you are talking about log4j/log4j or the various commons-* groupIds? This is true, but for completness sake I want to point out that there is a difference to use a different _unused_ groupId vs using a _foreign_ one.
I guess everyone would agree that the ASF does not like to publish artifacts with a com.oracle groupId, right? I'm a bit surprised that groovy still uses the org.codehaus groupId, but I guess they have a deal with Ben (the former owner and thus (former?) copyright holder of 'Codehaus'). So while this will work for now I guess that even groovy will move to org.apache.groovy in the long term (maybe with a new major version). It's not a big deal YET, but http://codehaus.org is not reachable anymore. And if anyone buys this domain he will have a much better position regarding trademarks than we do. What if someone buys the codehaus.org domain and publishes own artifacts under org.codehaus.groovy? Can we even prevent someone else to e.g publish org.codehaus.groovyng artifacts?
