Please, if you're a packager, take a moment and go read this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Trademarks_in_Summary_or_Description After talking with Red Hat Legal about how we should be handling trademarks in package summaries and descriptions, we came to the conclusion that it would be far easier (and less risky for Red Hat) if we did not use "(TM)" or "(R)" notations at all. This does not mean that you can use trademarks freely, you still need to be careful in how you use them. When in doubt, try not to use it. If you have questions, you can either email me or fedora-legal@xxxxxxxxxxx
IMO, your advice collides with "fair use" of trademarks, in particular when commonly used names actually refer to trademarked items or when package even contain something trademarked.
