The explanation might be simpler than you're suggesting. When a registered trademark is used by someone other than the person holding the trademark, it's often allowed if the use is in an unrelated domain -- in this case, computer software, not candy. Because this doesn't confuse the public or hurt the originator's business, often there's no complaint.
- sp332 13y agoThat's a good point, but in this case it's questionable since Google has been specifically naming their OS's after candy.
