If we can live without a true SMARTDRV, we can live without a true SCANDISK too.
The case is not comparable either. I seem to recall (Alain was it you?) that it was mentioned copyright issues over the label "SMARTDRV", but I don't think there is any over "SCANDISK" (I may be wrong).
If Microsoft have a a trademark called "SmartDrv", then why don't they sue IBM who offer it in their PC-DOS 7 and 2000? Or does the code license IBM have entitle them to use the trademark? By the way, the name "DOS" is a trademark of IBM, if I remember correctly (back in the 1960s).
The functionality of LBACACHE is NOT that of SMARTDRV. Nor is the functionality of DOSFSCK that of SCANDISK. It's precisely their *functionality*, and not a trademark issue, that is the true reason why they're called LBACACHE and DOSFSCK, and not SMARTDRV and SCANDISK, respectively.
