That would likely still leave us open to trademark infringement,
because `spark' is sufficiently close to `sparc,' and is used in
a similar context, such that it would (as it's obviously intended)
likely make people believe that we are talking about the thing
referred to by the `Sparc' trademark.

Fortunately we have a perfectly good alternative to NetBSD/sparc: NetBSD/sun4.
