As it turns out, I just started on a project like that. I intentionally
went out of my way to avoid using the letters N, X, & T right NeXT to each
other.
My totally unofficial opinion would be something like this. There’s not
much TLG can say about code you write for yourself. But, if you’re sharing
that code, it could easily look like LEGO officially endorces it, if it’s
called NXT.NET or something like that. In which case, they may ask you to
change the name. Just avoid that, by using another name.

Steve, do you think TLG would object to leJOS NeXT? Legally I it should be
okay, since I don’t think people can trademark a common word like ‘Next’.
I’m not sure if capitalization of letters matters with regards to trademarks
though.

Heh, just reread Steve’s reply and I think the answer is already hidden in
there. Didn’t spot it the first time.
