A question about using the Goanna engine in another open-source app

Hello,
I have a question about using the Goanna engine in other open-source projects. On the Goanna page it says, "Goanna and the Goanna logo are a trademark ™ of Moonchild Productions."
I wanted to ask for specifics on what usage the Pale Moon developers would object to. I would imagine that using the lizard image would be an IP violation, and that calling something the "Goanna X" or "X, Goanna Edition" could be an issue. Would you all object to describing an open-source app as "using Goanna," "with the Goanna engine," or things of that nature? And would you prefer a reference link to Pale Moon's Goanna page, or just complete separation?
To be clear, I'm not asking for legal advice. I'm asking what would cross the line for you guys before it ever became a legal issue. Respectful conversation beats a trial 7 days out of the week.
