> Yes. Trademark not copyright. My mistake.

That is your most minor mistake. The much larger one is that you are claiming that the law supports the trademark policy you link to. It doesn't. Everyone remains free to use a trademark belonging to wordpress in order to refer to wordpress.

You are not free to use any such mark - the WordPress Foundation would be on very solid ground in telling you to stop using their graphical logo. But they can't stop you from using "WordPress" in the name of your for-profit company, which you'll note is quite explicitly contrary to their stated policy.
