Trademarks

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

I would expect that our legal folks will expect that other trademarks be 
honored, just as we would expect our own trademarks to be honored.

My $0.02: do your best to "do the right thing."  Worst case scenario, 
someone yells at us and says, "hey, that's trademarked!" and we fix it.
