Hold on, that's "defend it or lose it". Author of libcurl clearly is using the name, there are new releases coming out quite often.

My wording was unclear, yes. If you aren't defending it, you aren't using it as a trademark.

Think of the term literally; if it's not exclusive to you, it's not longer a "mark" of your specific "trade". It's just a "mark".
