I’m very surprised UC Berkeley doesn’t own that domain name. They have a trademark on “Cal”, don’t know if they’d file a trademark complaint if this got larger.

You only have a trademarks in certain categories.

That is how Apple computer and Apple the record label were able to co-exist, until Apple Computer started doing Music..

Ah good point, you’re right. This is probably legally fine.
A trademark doesn’t automatically entitle you to the domain.
I know, I just thought they would have acquired it. My statements were somewhat separate.
