I'm going to err on the side of caution here. I will never again type the words "Second"™, "Life"™, " SL"™, "The Grid"™, "Philip Linden's bastard child"™ or "that steaming pile of horseshit"™ without covering my own ass™ with the trademark symbol.

Changing their minds is one thing, my statements are based on the current document. It's unlikely to change except in minor ways because as I also said, most of the stuff is
ordinary and even
expected as far as trademarks go.
None of it bothers me. I've been exposed to the trademark rules of two very large international organizations. In fact I had to be careful with one of them because I was one of the local officers who would be directly handling the organization's logo. The stuff LL has on their ToS and Branding Center are ordinary AFAIC and it's about time they put it up really.
