From all I've read I don't think they're copyrighting the two letter
SL at all. What I see is a usage guideline for the
SL letters IF you have a
Second Life associated name.
For example
SL Vision (
SL Vision) is not, and never was, an
SL associated name, therefore does not fall under the scope of the guidelines at all. Btw I just plucked that site and URL out of thin air, and sure enough a real site existed.
SL Herald and
SL Universe however are. Both were created with a connection to
SL from the start and therefore are subject to the guidelines.
So to cut things short, usage of "
SL" is ok ... provided that the usage is totally not related to Second Life.
If ever they try to push for an all-encompassing trademark on
SL, then it won't prosper. They have the auto industry to contend with, among others.
