I can definitely see a practical concern here. In the second case,
(TrademarkedName) is usually the organization — for example, the WordNet
variant says 

  "The name of Princeton University or Princeton may not be used in  
   advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the software  
   and/or database."

That's easy to follow. On the other hand, it's very common for us to use the
name of a piece of software in Fedora Linux release announcements. Like,
"This release now includes WordNet 3.0", or whatever.
