You're arguing one of them should have exclusive right to use the word "mumble" in reference to software related to vocal communication?

Yes, one of them should have the right to use that logo and name for VoIP, absolutely.
There are plenty of names everyone can pick that don't namesquat on an existing project. I find it especially nasty if it's a FOSS project that gets its name abused.
I'm not sure if people who don't double check the URL are the same people who would memorize or compare logos on a site... (which is in no way a defense of what's happening, but I don't think the other thing would help either)
