Many people confuse copyrights and trademarks.
 
Generally speaking, titles cannot be copyrighted. Trademarks or Servicemarks
can often be registered and any use can be prosecuted. There would be a
pretty substantial argument to be made that "listserv" is now an industry
standard name for list servers, however L-Soft would probably argue that you
can use tissues (not Kleenex) to clean the glass on your photostatic copy
machine (not Xerox)... therefore you can run your list on a
listserver.at.your.domain, not a listserv.
