Capitalization question: Pilates or pilates? I can't find a good definitive source. #amediting

I say capitalized and Wikipedia feels the same way I do: In October 2000, "Pilates" was ruled a generic term by a U.S. federal court, making it free for unrestricted use.[31] The term is still capitalized in writing due to its origin from the proper name of the method's founder.
