Name of article

I understand there is some legal issues with usage of the word "Java" that some or most free Java developers are concerned about. Some editors seem to want this article to retain its former name Free Runtimes. There is several problems with this:

  • Obvious capitalisation problem (capital R), easily fixable
  • "Free runtimes" for what? Is it for .NET, for Perl, etc? No, it is for Java programs. The title should be more specific, which is hard if we cannot use Java. GNU Classpath itself dubs itself as "GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java" [1], so what is the problem here?
