The domain thing is very, very, very normal.

From Mozilla's trademark policy: If you want to include all or part of a Mozilla trademark in a domain name, you have to receive written permission from Mozilla. People naturally associate domain names with organizations whose names sound similar. Almost any use of a Mozilla trademark in a domain name is likely to confuse consumers, thus running afoul of the overarching requirement that any use of a Mozilla trademark be non-confusing. If you would like to build a Mozilla, Firefox Internet browser or Thunderbird e-mail client promotional site for your region, we encourage you to join an existing official localization project.

From Node Foundation's trademark policy: You need permission to register or use a domain name that contains a Node.js mark in it. Please don’t register a domain that looks or sounds similar to a Node.js or includes a misspelled Node.js mark as that can confuse community users

From Debian's trademark policy: You cannot use Debian trademarks in a domain name, with or without commercial intent.
