Thanks Antoine, I am happy to help and vote but I want to make sure I'm right before we get to that stage.
I don't know if branding or legal (or press) would oppose the name Jal. My $0.02 is that if this were a corporate entity, the likelihood for confusion would be very high with two OSS projects named Jal. And while JAL, the programming language, might not have a Trademark, it would be rude IMO to a long standing project to just hijack the name. If they have trademarks, it would be almost certainly a torpedo to the name. My assumption is that the name suitability is rooted in finding a trademarkable, unique, defendable, and brandable name. With Jal being an existing OSS project ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAL_(compiler) & http://justanotherlanguage.org/), I'm certainly not excited by using that name. For now, consider me a -0.5 and I welcome the opportunity to be convinced differently. Sorry, I'm really working hard to make the incubator process positive so my apologies again for a last minute monkey wrench. I just happened to catch the subject on the thread and I know some PIC programming in JAL and so here we are... Regards, KAM -- Kevin A.
