I did not say that. Plagiarism is not always equal to license
violations.

In my opinion the term "Org Mode" is collective trademark:

Trademark FAQs | USPTO:
https://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/trademark-faqs#type-browse-faqs_1934
valid only for US jurisdiction.

Trademarks need not be registered, especially when it is clear who was
first using it, there is no doubt that Org Mode is term used to
promote software and software is commercial subject.

Those who started using first "Org Mode", like author or whoever is
assigned to it, are free to tell to the website, to stop using it, or
demand part of their profits in Sweden.
