Ouch!  Is this a show stopper for the name mageia?
<A HREF="http://mageia.com/">http://mageia.com/</A>

The domain was registered in 2001, with the ownership hidden
by Domains by Proxy.  The sites.google.com, and the
&quot;Recent Site Activity&quot; link on mageia.com shows it's
being maintained by &quot;John Wells Sr&quot;.

Note that the logo consists of the site name in a stylized
script, with the phrase &quot;Isn't it magic&quot;, as the &quot;future Web
home for Mageia Minerals of Chassell, Michigan&quot;.  The site
consists of a single page hosted on sites.google.com.  The
recent activity indicates it was all created July 26th, 2010.

While mageia.org is not the same as mageia.com, I expect
a lot of users are going to accidentally go to the wrong
site.

Is this going to be potential legal problem?
