I see... they bought a company called WooCommerce a couple of years ago [0].
I think your choices are (a) find a different domain name or (b) talk to an attorney. You don't say what your site does, but if it's very different from e-commerce, you might be able to successfully fight this [1]. You will need a lawyer, though, and some amount of money.
Good luck!

- woorefugee 9y agoThanks for the information, it's appreciated. Guess I am going to have to hire a lawyer. Part of the problem is that we distribute official WooCommerce extensions under the GPL General Public License... It's a legal grey area for sure.
