Actually, as others have also confirmed, it IS a registered trademark,
and they DO vigorously pursue enforcement of their trademark.  They
obviously can't go after every person who posts to a list, but they do
when it is in print, a machine name not running their software, and so
forth.  I'm copying this to them, and perhaps they'll respond with
more info.
