No more Wordpress domain names for you, sonny!

More trademark things today. Lorelle on Wordpress has a nice post on Automattics’€™ new domain name policy. This is from Wordpress.org:

For various reasons related to our WordPress trademark, we ask if you’re going to start a site about WordPress or related to it that you not use “WordPress” in the domain name. We’re not lawyers, but very good ones tell us we have to do this to preserve our trademark.

More over at Lorelle’€™s.
