For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards have an
interesting section on trademark *acknowledgements*.
| Trademarks
| ==========
|
| Please do not include any trademark acknowledgements in GNU software
| packages or documentation.
|
| Trademark acknowledgements are the statements that such-and-such is a
| trademark of so-and-so. The GNU Project has no objection to the basic
| idea of trademarks, but these acknowledgements feel like kowtowing, so
| we don't use them. There is no legal requirement for them.
|
| What is legally required, as regards other people's trademarks, is to
| avoid using them in ways which a reader might read as naming or labeling
| our own programs or activities. For example, since "Objective C" is
| (or at least was) a trademark, we made sure to say that we provide a
| "compiler for the Objective C language" rather than an "Objective C
| compiler". The latter is meant to be short for the former, but it does
| not explicitly state the relationship, so it could be misinterpreted as
| using "Objective C" as a label for the compiler rather than for the
| language.
