#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has informed us they won’t voluntarily withdraw their trademark on "JavaScript". Next: they’ll file their Answer and we’ll start discovery to show how "JavaScript" is widely recognized as a generic term and not controlled by Oracle.

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has informed us they won’t voluntarily withdraw their trademark on "JavaScript". Next: they’ll file their Answer and we’ll start discovery to show how "JavaScript" is widely recognized as a generic term and not controlled by Oracle.
It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.
We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

#FreeJavaScript is an incredibly important legal battle and you should consider donating so Oracle can't jump out of the bushes and DMCA takedown any JavaScript project they don't like because they maintain an illegal trademark that they do not use. Yet another reason I continue to love @deno.land.

I missed this last month! The Java / Javascript thing is still confusing for some recruiters, but Java doesn't really need 'protection' anymore, does it? The industry understands the difference. If Oracle don't contest by Jan 4th the community get the JavaScript™ back. ✅ #FreeJavaScript #js
