@deno_land am I the only one that doesn’t see any issue with this?

From the page:

> Unlike typical trademark holders who protect their trademarks by extracting licensing fees or enforcing usage restrictions, Oracle has allowed the JavaScript name to be used by anyone.

Doesn’t that mean you should just ignore the trademark? Imagine the confusion that would arise if a random third party created "Javascript Conf".

@deno_land Sounds like the deno team want to create something and name it after Javascript to make it sound more official and hence the motive of this letter.

I am happy to learn WHY the trademark needs to ACTUALLY be freed.

@vixalientoots @deno_land Constant risk of getting sued for trademark rights infringement. This is for everyone, including all who don't know about this small legal detail; not just for Deno.

The fact that they haven't sued anyone (yet) doesn't mean they can't, nor that they won't.

@castarco @deno_land I think your statement contradicts the quote given above. based on the facts, Oracle currently has no intent to sue and have not sued anyone yet.

I wish to understand this from the perspective of a lawyer and/or why exactly Deno Land Inc. (a for-profit company) wants rights to use the trademark more than what fair use allows.
