I don't think so: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:q33o33.2.1 "The mark consists of a spiral formed with the style of a paintbrush stroke with the word "debian" written." i.e. swirl on its own is not trademarked, thus could be freely used for other projects, thus all the reports from users on "infringement" through the years nearly always lead to "relax, everything is alright" response ;) -- Yaroslav O.
