SLOPHP wasn't SLO-PHP.  It was meant to represent SLOP-HP, and HP is for
Hewlett's Packard, not PHP.  No one can prevent you legally from using a
series of characters in your product name simply because a substring may
match on your product name.  WhimsWorder would be a legal product name
despite having msword as a substring.
