If it is registered as a trademark, then it does not make a difference if you use it for a free community or for commercial purposes.

Sorry but this is simply not true. For example "vBulletin" is a registered trademark and you may not use it in your domainname. Regardless of the use of the website.

Well I guess it applies specifically...would it be fair to say that people in the gaming community cannot use a game name as well as some variation as their web URL? If that were the case, many sites would not be in existence. I think it is case specific really.

I guess there are restrictions with starwars... usage of the STAR WARS title >> http://www.theforce.net/SWTC/gallery.html
