I've always thought the Sugar was an unfortunate collision in open-source namespace with the [http://www.sugarforge.org/ Sugar CRM], but there is not much you can do about that now. However, you should be careful to avoid mark confusion. Sugar CRM does have [http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/open-source/trademark-information.html trademarks] that they can rightfully defend, including the word mark "Sugar" -- when used in the context of a Sales, Marketing or Customer Service business software application and [http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/images/tm_images/SugarLabs.png this registered mark] (specific to the font, etc.) on a stylized "SugarLabs" logo as well as [http://www.sugarcrm.com//crm/images/tm_images/sugarcrm_tm.png this registered mark] with a cube. I'm not saying anything currently proposed necessarily interferes with their marks (I'm not a copyright lawyer), but you should be aware of their marks so as to avoid confusion, and you don't want to mess with nice guys who make a good CRM and give it away anyway.

== Crowded namespace ==
'''sugar-lab.com'''
According to their web-site [http://www.sugar-lab.com/index.html sugarlab corporation] is a progressive entertainment studio that embraces both traditional entertainment and emerging media developments, including open content creation models. I don't know who Lisa Voldeng is, but I wouldn't want to mess with any of their "uberbabe superhero pantheon".
'''sugarlab.com'''
You've also got a dead page for a [http://www.sugarlab.com/ digital media studio], but probably not the same one from the whois info.
'''sugarlabs.com''' is being squatted on by a domain troll.
'''sugar-lab.net and sugarlab.net'''
gives you [http://www.sugar-lab.net/blog/ someone's blog], I think, and I can't tell what [http://www.sugarlab.net/ this is].
