Thanks for the insight Vince and I am sure you are correct. I remember thinking at the time, I wonder why Allaire would buy Live Software.

From the press release, they're claiming a trademark on the phrase "JRun Server Pages" but not the acronym JSP. Acronyms are extremely difficult to trademark, to the point of being almost impossible (similarly, "ColdFusion" is a trademark belonging to Adobe, but the CFML acronym is not). Nowhere is the press release (that I could find) do they claim a trademark on the .jsp extension; I'm not sure it would be a valid, enforeable even if they did.Cheers.
