You might want to get a bit more of the story from radar.oreilly.com.  El Reg isn't known for being unbiased....
Best,

ora.com - the new evil empire :-)

 From a reg story a conference organiser has been threatened for using web2.0  in its confernece title. Evidently ora owns web.20 as a service mark and will threaten legal action at the drop of a hat if it thinks someone is stepping on its toes.

So much for supporting open standards - they are open as long as they are the only ones to make a profit from them.
