Java namespace implies this is owned by commonmark.org

The namespace of the project implies that it is owned by commonmark.org, but it is owned by Atlassian:

import org.commonmark.node.*;
import org.commonmark.parser.Parser;
import org.commonmark.renderer.html.HtmlRenderer;

Expected behavior:

import com.atlassian.commonmark.node.*;
import com.atlassian.commonmark.parser.Parser;
import com.atlassian.commonmark.renderer.html.HtmlRenderer;

Not only is this misleading, it prevents commonmark.org from ever publishing a Java implementation under its own name. It’s also important to note that Atlassian is a commercial organization while commonmark.org is not.

Also the Java rules for package naming do indicate the package should use the company domain name when publishing the Java packages:

Companies use their reversed Internet domain name to begin their package names—for example, com.example.mypackage for a package named mypackage created by a programmer at example.com.

Name collisions that occur within a single company need to be handled by convention within that company, perhaps by including the region or the project name after the company name (for example, com.example.region.mypackage).

I’d be fine with transferring it.

Hi Jeff.

I explicitly asked permission from @jgm back when I started the project, quote from his email from 13 April 2015:

Neither Jeff Atwood nor I have any objections to your using the org.commonmark namespace for your module.

Note that back then, the https://github.com/commonmark/ organization wasn’t being used yet. Now that the other repositories are there too, I would love to transfer the repository there! That has always been my long-term goal, which is also why the license is exactly the same as commonmark.js.

If this is something that you and @jgm are interested in, I can probably get permission from Atlassian. I think it would be beneficial for both commonmark and commonmark-java.
