It should probably be "the Java language" but you're right, Sun seems to use it as a noun. Sun also doesn't list Java with a TM symbol on their front page, you have to click on a link to see their list of trademarks.

The link above talks about the importance of using trademarks properly, lest the owner lose them. ("Ping pong" ... Wikipedia doesn't even list an entry for the trademark name.) I can't help but think Sun maybe flirting with disaster to not use their mark properly, but I guess they have their own legal council.

Or maybe their strategy now is to make it a community property, hence the GPL and other evidence of democratization.

Anything more I'd say on that would belong better in clj.advocacy. Suffice to say, bully, Sun.
