SchoolTool is apparently too generic a term to be a *registered* trademark.
That said, anyone can call it a trademark, and if over time that mark
becomes widely recognised it may be possible to register it on the basis
of common knowledge and association with your product.
We learned about the schooltool.com folks a while ago and looked into
this - our job is just to make sure that the whole world comes to think
of SchoolTool as the *free* implementation.

The only thing I could figure out is that their website is highly
irritating, they use .net and are competing for our google word.
Delightful. Guess we'll get to learn something about international
trademark law.
Well, on their website the name is still marked with a TM, but
apparently they've abandoned their trademark:
