[BA] I would agree that our goal should be to ensure that this is a non-issue.

However, I do NOT agree that the issue can be ignored. Trademarks in particular can be very powerful things, and it is quite common for trademark owners to challenge uses that even vaguely resemble the trademark, even in uses that might appear peripheral. 

The responsible thing here is to avoid amateur lawyering and get advice from counsel.
