It's short for Java/OpenOffice Converter, but of course I'm not allowed 
to use Java (nor OpenOffice probably) in the name because it's a trademark.

I appreciate your remark.  I doubt that the name can be considered 
offensive by itself, but I'm not native English speaker so if I had your 
suggestion 3 years ago when I started the project I would have taken it 
into account, if not else for "marketing" reasons.

Now it's quite difficult to change it though.  I wanted to switch to 
JODConverter, for Java/OpenDocument, to stress the fact that it's not 
just about OpenOffice any more.  But there are *a lot* of places where 
it would have to be changed, code moved etc.

Cheers

Mirko
