In my opinion this is similar to the issue that Debian had with Mozilla browser 
trademark discussion (http://lwn.net/Articles/118268/).  Our philosophy on 
using open source software is very much in alignment with the Debian Free 
Software Guidelines (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines). I don?t 
want to bore everyone on this mailing list with Virtual Iron guidelines for 
open source software usage, but the most important item to us is free 
redistribution, without any hindrance.  We take this approach with all of the 
open source software that we create and release to the community, pure GPL, 
with no hindrance of any sort.

I do agree you with you that there is a naming issue.
