Thoughts on Deno’s push to get Oracle’s trademark of JavaScript cancelled?

#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. https://t.co/0UQEbpC73e

As far as I know (and I don’t know much), Oracle isn’t even actively using or promoting JavaScript. So I’m not sure how long their trademark claim can stay valid.

i'm grateful Deno is taking a stand on behalf of devs. Oracle has been issuing C&D's to companies with JS in the name already
