    According to http://www.uspto.gov , they aren't Brett's (or anyone
else's) trademarks.

    Should anyone attempt to trademark them, it should be a trivial
exercise to demonstrate that they are or were in common use prior
to the attempt.

    The discussion of whether or not reading GPL'd code creates an
intellectual property "contamination" issue requiring the use of
"clean room" techniques to insulate a company from a lawsuit by the FSF
is off-topic.  It's important, to be sure, but it's off-topic.
