Mmmh, quite difficult to me to explain in english how it works in the legal system in france, but i'd like to specify that :
- this is not important if differents websites are using the term of mageia ; it could be a problem only if its exists a trademark for the same/nearly the same activity.
- mageia is a generic word that can be used by everybody, and even if it is protected by someone who registered it, this registration canot prohibit the usage for another activity
- the registration of the term of mageia is in progress at the french administration called INPI
