We had a quite long and complex research to find a name :
<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20100920/000315.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20100920/000315.html</A>
Then we indeed stumbled on the fact that the .com was used but this was
not seen as a problem since there is a lot of precedent in free
software :
apache.com is not affiliated with apache.org
(.com registered before .org )
ubuntu.com is not affiliated with ubuntu.org
(.org registered 2 years before .com )
gnome.com is not affiliated with gnome.org
(.com 2 years before .org )
python.com is not affiliated with python.org
(.com 1 year before .org)
I just took the biggest projects I could think, but afaik, none of them
had a problem based on dns alone. To have a problem like Mandrakesoft or
Mobilix had, the problem need to be taken from a trademark point of
view. And if you look on the list I gave, this was checked ( now, we
forgot to check association name, but we worked around it quite
easily ).
People asked the question in the past :
<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20100921/000567.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20100921/000567.html</A>
So yes, we are aware. It is like computer security, just a question of
evaluating the risk. And I think we are not doing much harm to them
( and that we do not want ), neither the do to us. This is basically a
brick and mortar shop. The trademark law is quite clear, you have to
explicitly tell the domain of your mark, and so does the DNS system
( ie, you have to use a tld ).
And you are you aware you are sending html mail on this list :) ?
