Is the language name Ada still trademarked by DoD, or has the trademark 
lapsed.  I had heard sometime ago that the intention was to let the trademark
on the name Ada lapse, but still control the use of a phrase similar to
"Validated Ada".  Is this presently the case or is the name Ada as a computer
language still actively protected by an AJPO trademark?
