For what its worth, there are existing situations: e.g.
debian-news.net, debian-administration.org, debianadmin.com,
debian-handbook.info, debian-multimedia.org.
Only one of those has been specifically opposed by the project, and a
kind request resulted in a domain rename without any kind of legal
wrangling (now deb-multimedia.org).
So, point being that results can already be achieved without any kind
of legal hammer.
Best wishes,
Mike
