It's still a trademark problem if I go around calling my site Unofficial Facebook.
I'm struggling to see how there's an argument either party are in the right here for trying to squat on each other's names.

This highlights why trademarks exist, to avoid confusion. I don't know the history of the project but once somebody starts calling some software Libreboot anybody else should stay clear of that name.
