The domain is not really a problem since it predates the projects move here. we're not interested in killing off your business ;-) As long as the PPMC has no objections to what you are doing there then all is good. Things can certainly be improved to ensure any new PPMC members not aware of your history with the project do not get confused. There a specific domain name guidelines linked from the policy document - see http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/domains.html
There hasn't been any specific complaints. This is more of a friendly nudge to ensure you fully read and understand the trademark policies in order to minimise any chance of complaints.
