While mageia.org is not the same as mageia.com, I expect
a lot of users are going to accidentally go to the wrong
site.

Is this going to be potential legal problem?

I don't think we should worry about this right now. It has gone too far and once we have the infrastructure up and going, changing names becomes a trivial matter.

It would surprise met if this were of any problems at all. A minerals company found at mageia.com and a linux distro found at mageia.org are simply too far apart in concept to be mistaken.

It will become a problem if the term "Mageia" has been copywritten or (heaven forbid) patented! by someone or a company.

Having a site's name is not usually a problem. Laws differ depending of the country you reside in. But they all seem to follow the same convention (except for patent laws).

Note that I am not a lawyer.
