Hrm. I could see an argument that Apache Allura (the name, and / or the platform) is copyright ASF. The trademark certainly applies to the name Apache Allura and should remain. Perhaps just changing the wording so that it's clear that the trademark and copyright apply to the name and platform but not the site using the platform?
