Apart from the fact that the FreeBSD page talks about "The BSD Daemon", 
and not "The FreeBSD Daemon". But it only says that the Daemon is (c) by 
McKusick. Nothing about trademarks.

But I don't think I've ever seen any TM claims for the Daemon, except 
perheps the claims around here that the Daemon should some kind of TM for 
FreeBSD.

I'll guess I'll have to stick with 4.3 on my VAXen, and 2.11 on my 
PDP-11s. That way I can atleast be sure that the Daemon were referring to 
my systems. :-)
