In any case, a trademark does not give absolute monopoly over the use of the word, only in application the specific field concerned (hence Apple the computer company, and Apple the record label). This other site has nothing whatsoever to do with music notation, and it would be hard to argue that there's any real likelihood of confusion among users (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_moron_in_a_hurry).
For example if I type "LilyPond" in Google I am getting links to our LilyPond site(s), but also:
www.lilypond.nl www.lilypond.co.za lilypond.media.mit.eduwww.lilypondusa.com www.lilypond.net.au
www.zappos.com/lilypondto name just a few. They all have nothing to do with music or score engraving :-) All they have in common is the use of the name "LilyPond" (with or without uppercase L and P)
not really a problem, is it? -- MT
