As the trademark filer, Stefan can make exceptions.
Since the restriction is on "OpenOffice.org" and not "OpenOffice",
this means that advertisers can still present text ads which read
"OpenOffice" rather than the official "OpenOffice.org".
As far as I can remember, OO.o was renamed from being simple OpenOffice
because of OpenOffice proved to be someone's registered trademark. Are
my memories cheating me?
By the way, the name of the application being OpenOffice.org seemed to
me always as a complete mistake from a marketing point of view - sorry
to write this. It is against almost all rules for successful marketing:
it is long, and has a dot in the middle; thus normal written sentences
that contain it as a word are "splitted".
Once upon a time there was an open source CMS project called Mambo.
Later there were problems around it. It's possible that there were
trademark issues (and companies which tried to lead the project other
ways it wanted to go by itself). And than Mambo was renamed as Joomla.
Maybe the OpenOffice.org community would benefit from giving an other
name to the application, a name somewhat simpler. A name that probably
does not contain the word "Office" at all!
