I found this page very interesting, and everyone here should take note of it:

You may use Adobe trademarks (but not logos or taglines) to identify Adobe products, services, and programs on packaging, promotional, and advertising materials, provided you adhere to the following guidelines:

1. You may not incorporate or include Adobe trademarks in your company name, product name, domain name, or in the name of your service.

2. An appropriate generic term must appear after the trademark the first time it appears in a printed piece, and as often as possible after that. For examples of appropriate generic terms for use with Adobe trademarks, click here.

3. Your product name may not be confusingly similar to any of Adobe's trademarks.

4. Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and may not be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Adobe, any of its products, or any other person or entity.

5. Your use may not directly or indirectly imply Adobe's sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your product or service.

6. Reference to the Adobe trademark may not be the most prominent visual element on your product or service. Your company name and/or logo, your product or service name, and your graphics should be significantly larger than the reference to Adobe's trademark.

and it goes on....

I hope to see you all at SWF Forward in september... and maybe at SWF in the Can next year!

Just a sort of word of warning...

Adobe recently asked me to rename my FlashObject script to something else because of trademark/legal issues. They are trying to protect their 'Flash' trademark, and apparently macromedia was a bit more relaxed about these things than Adobe is.

So a word of warning to you all who use 'Flash' in the name of your projects - you might want to think about changing it.
