Yeap, was just about to ask that question: does this use of the
Facebook name comply with their trademark use policy?  I had a quick
look but their policy isn't as detailed as the Google policy which was
very clear on the point.  Perhaps you need to email them to get
clarification?

I think calling anything libktrademark is never a good idea as it
could be confused for something created by the trademark holder, but
something like akonadi-resource-trademark is perhaps more acceptable
as it is a more functional statement.

Cheers!
