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?

GJC and others

we need to change the name of this article why limitating ourselves to the runtimes,because java is a technology we must talk about all aspect of java and free software including the software that are programed in hava and migrated to classpath and GJC,some of theses software include openoffice(after negociation with the FSF,openoffice can now also run on a free java software platform) or Azureus

i propose(please add your own idea if you have some):

  • Java(Free Software)
  • Free Java Implementations
