Sun plays nice

I reported in Sun sues little guy over Java about how Ted Neward was informed by Sun's legal team that his site, javageeks.com, was in contravention of Sun's trademark use of "Java".

Well, Ted now reports that Mark Herring, Director Community Strategy at Sun, has since been in touch, apologised for the debacle, and completely distanced Sun from the actions of the lawyer.

In short, with a few cosmetic changes to the domain registration, to ensure that it's not mistaken for a business registered site associated with Java, and everything is all sweet and fine again.

Ted says he's now looking forward to simply putting his head down to work on "a few JDK 1.5 papers to post".
