Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This is an open letter signed by prominent figures in the JavaScript community that urges Oracle to release the "JavaScript" trademark. They argue that Oracle has abandoned the trademark through non-use, as they haven't built a product using the mark and haven't actively protected it. They are calling on Oracle to relinquish the trademark to the public domain, and warn that they will challenge its ownership through a petition for cancellation with the USPTO if Oracle doesn't comply.
