Maybe someone should try to explain to you the concept of a "trademark".

I think that is one variant of his point and you have completely missed it. Who in the "community" should own the "trademark"? Did someone register it? Do "they" represent the community?

The EPFL owns it, especially the logo he is also using. And no, registering is not always a requirement.

I can find no evidence of anyone registering "Scala" as a trademark for a programming language. www.scala-lang.org never indicates there is a trademark or uses any usual trademark symbol.

I expect I'll be receiving an apology for your condescending assault on my intelligence?

Sorry. I think we should try having a constructive debate again, that was lost a bit it seems.
