You are claiming the law is complicated. But the facts are plain and simple, and no amount of FUDD is going to support a view that there is any reasonable justification (by moral or juridifical standards) to claim WMF is the body to apply for permission to use "wiki" on something. That just ain't gonna happen, *nohow*. Sorry. That is just a fact. Don't try to squirm.
Frankly, if we *could* try to claim a trademark on the word "wiki", we *shouldn't*. At most, ask the site nicely to note somewhere they're nothing to do with "Wikipedia."
