Oracle can fuck off
From the article, https://javascript.tm/ is a petition you can sign for Oracle to drop the trade mark claim
you think Oracle cares about petitions?
It's not about caring, it's about the lawyers making the argument javascript's genericness easier
Has to be done via github though
JavaScript is an Oracle's trademark?
They bought Java (not javascript) a long time ago. With, as far as I can tell, the sole intent of monetization through legal action.
They bought Java (not javascript)
They bought Sun, which "owned" Java and JavaScript.
The trademark was originally issued to Sun Microsystems on 6 May 1997, and was transferred to Oracle when they acquired Sun in 2009.
Sun played no, or no authoritative, role in developing javascript. I don't know how they got the trademark except perhaps no one owning it thought they could monetize the trademark.
Marking August 7th to my calendar. Stupid greedy Oracle should've let JS trademark go long time ago.
I can't reject the cookie bullshit as I have js disabled by default and I'm not turning it on here.
Wait. That was my whole point.
