Andy Tsoi named the project originally. Some background on the name is here: http://nattable.org/drupal/?q=faq We don't have a formal trademark or anything. IANAL either, but I don't think Network Address Translation is a trademark - it's just a trade acronym.

Sorry to do this piecemeal...
Before we can move forward with creation, we have to deal with
trademarking the project name.
Who owns the NatTable name? i.e. to whom is the trademark assigned?
I'm a little concerned that--owing to the similarity with Network
Address Translation (NAT) Tables--asserting trademark on the name
may be problematic (IANAL, so there's subtleties that I'm not
familiar with). You may need to be prepared to change the name.

I just noticed the LGPL dependency (GlazedLists). Note that you
cannot distribute LGPL-licensed code from eclipse.org. We can
likely create a "works with" dependency on GlazedLists given that
it is an optional feature.
We're reviewing the proposal.

Hi Wayne,
I moved the NatTable proposal into the standard template,
attached. The Mentors section is not complete yet (Tom, Chris
A - I think you guys had offered to be/find mentors before?)
Please let me know if you need me to reformat/fill in any
more info.
Thanks,
Edwin

I assume that you've read the "Starting a new
Project" Wiki page [1].
The next step is for you to provide the document to me
using the standard template (be sure to keep the markup
plain; I'm not sure what a Google Docs export will turn
out like). Note that there are a few sections (Why
Eclipse?, Mentors) missing from your document that need
to be provided. We will need to identify some mentors
for the project, but we can do that after the proposal
is posted. Once I have the proposal in the standard
template, I will get approval from the EMO executive
director and then post the proposal for community
review.
