John,

  Unfortunately for John Boole's heirs copyright/trademark laws didn't
exist in his days as they do today.  So the term "Boolean" has come into
general usage as "boolean".   You are certainly correct that out of respect
for Mr. Boole, it should be capitalized.

  Incidently, when I worked in numerical analysis at Boeing this topic came
up and we decided for consistency everyone would use the lower case "b".

  Just my bit of trivia on this Monday morning.
