Osgeld:
I am not going to get in the storm, but I will state that the Arduino team's enforcement of trademark is at bets lax, they tend to pick and choose based on the buddy system, and thats frankly not right.An example I like to point to is the operator of http://www.avr-developers.com, originally it had the Arduino name in the url, but very quickly after the trademark went into play they told him to change the domain, of a site that was giving away arduino core files for damn near every AVR out there, to the community for the community.
Meanwhile the Sparkfun Arduino Main board, which is a repackaged Uno, but points people to use their fourms, and claims a 2010 Sparkfun electronics copyright is just fine, because "we like sparkfun, and they have done a lot to help the community"

Guess this guy just pissed someone off before they had their coffee
I think the issue here is more that these people are claiming to be something they are not. They used the Arduino name as a way to illegitimately gain credibility, rather than as a description of their product. This is not "a new product from the former Arduino's distributor", this is "a new product from two people that worked for a company that sold capacitors to an official Arduino distributor".
I have contracted out work to a friend of mine that does .Net developing. This would be like me hiring him for a new product, then putting "Check out NewThingHere from the Makers of Microsoft Windows!" to add credibility.
