Yeap, was just about to ask that question: does this use of the Facebook name comply with their trademark use policy? I had a quick look but their policy isn't as detailed as the Google policy which was very clear on the point. Perhaps you need to email them to get clarification? I think calling anything libktrademark is never a good idea as it could be confused for something created by the trademark holder, but something like akonadi-resource-trademark is perhaps more acceptable as it is a more functional statement. Cheers! John.
