Because it is part of fairplay, I can live with it. Please read

commit message. The question now is not to use it or not -- the
question is _which_ to use. And I prefer ® over (R), what do you?

The trademark holders for Linux, Debian and GNU doesn't request this.
LEGO on the other hand likes people to write it that way, we should
respect that.
Have fun,
