I think you are going to find examples more akin to Haiku in other open source OS projects. Ubuntu has a pretty solid trademark policy, and so does Fedora (although probably a little bit overdone): http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines These could point you to the types of scenarios that Haiku might face as it relates to trademarks and derivatives, and how they can be addressed.
