Unfortunately for that approach, there are legal requirements to protect your trademark, and no legal requirements to be reasonable.
(Which, if you think about it, is a good thing -- do you actually want judges deciding if you were being reasonable or not?)

Seigo: Spark becomes Vivaldi Posted Mar 16, 2012 9:42 UTC (Fri) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784) [Link] do you actually want judges deciding if you were being reasonable or not? Yes, since (a) I don't think making all criminal offences be strict-liability and fixed-penalty is a good idea (b) some criminal-trial defences I regard as morally legitimate depend on the court having that discretion.

Except when there's a jury, and even then. Do you really want lawyers billing you by the hour to make that call?
