maybe this too, http://gentoogroup.eu/ Interestingly, this cannot be categorised under the Gentoo Foundation product/components. Obviously, you cannot trademark the names of birds. We're not "Gentoo", we're "Gentoo Linux". They are the "Gentoo Group", to wit "a large North East housing association with a vision to improve the Art of Living." Oh, and that gentoogroup.eu is "a proactive, highly experienced and independent team based in Guernsey and Luxembourg." Again, that's a different trade, so no trademark infringement. Failed to render the entire blurb there: "We specialise in the administration of regulated and unregulated funds and family office structures as well as offering depositary and a range of corporate and domiciliation services." Thanks for looking into it. I'm adding trustees as this type of issue is related to them.

As you can read in the Gentoo Name and Logo usage guidelines[1], the trademark of the name applies only to "software project or computer-related product".
