Would you care to elaborate on the "protection" the ISC has on the
"product name" (I assume you mean "BIND")?

I just looked at my 8.2.2 and 8.2.3 sources and I don't see anything
beyond the license.  I also don't see any mention of such protection on
the ISC web site (without digging into it anyway).  I can't even find
the license on the web site.
