I'm saying they shouldn't be worried about being sued by Blizzard. This software is not a video game or related merchandise.

Trademarks do not cover all uses of a word -- they only cover the use of a word in relation to a particular field of commerce. This is, likewise, why your grocery store can sell apples without being afraid of the equally litigious Apple Inc.

But they still would need to watch our for the even more litigious Apple Corp.
What about WWF? I always thought you'd have to be a complete imbecile or willfully dishonest to confuse the World Wrestling Federation with the World Wildlife Fund, yet here we are.
