 trademark.

 This isn't enforcement of a trademark. Enforcement of a trademark is
 through the courts (or at least a threat to take somebody to court). And
 as much as I think the legal system is broken, I think attempting to
 enforce the law through software is even more misguided. Here's an
 example: I may like to tell people "it's not spelt Wordpress, it's spelt
 WordPress" - I wouldn't be able to tell people that using Wordpress - so
 now Wordpress is a tool of censorship that doesn't allow discussion of
 alternate spellings. I would also be prevented from intentionally un-
 camelcasing as an act of civil disobedience.
