Might it be better to improve the existing Apache trademark policy page? http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ This way all projects can benefit, e.g., Pig, Hive, Zookeeper, etc. We might, e.g., propose more examples of acceptable and not-acceptable uses of Apache marks there, etc. We can work with trademarks@ to build a library of boilerplate letters to be sent to folks whose use Apache marks in objectionable ways.
