I can't see where this should help much in understanding the legal
background (like we have posted it regularly to the blog). The trademark
holders are not necessarily backing the entity, cf. the Apache example,
where Apache is licensee of the trademark, but not (yet?) the trademark
holder. However, Oracle, being the trademark holder, is not responsible
for Apache's content.
