gnome-mastermind trademark question

Hey * (especially Hans),

Filippo Argiolas (fargiolas at gnome.org) joined #freedesktop-games,
asking if we could do something about the inclusion of his game
gnome-mastermind[1] in Fedora.

He stated that the game is not included because of Fedora worrying
about the trademark of the original mastermind game, but eg Debian
didn't.
IANAL, but I don't see a real issue here, gnome-mastermind !=
mastermind, and if we would use the same thinking on other games, we
prolly won't be able to package Wormux (Worms is quite similar) and so
on.

Does anyone have opinions on this?

Regards
Evgeni
