The problem is that the Tor developers really don't know - they
primarily write software rather than practice law :). Andrew and the
Tor Board of Directors typically need to discuss these issues with
actual lawyers.

One of the sticky issues with trademark protection though is that if
you do not defend your mark in all applicable cases, you lose the
right to defend it in cases you actually do care about. So please do
not take any decisions about your use personally.
