I am slightly confused here, are you saying:

	(1)	The name "OGRE" is a trademark (registered or not) of
		Steve Jackson games.  It's not possible to my knowledge
		to copyright a single word.

	(2)	Steve Jackson games distributes a copyrighted work that
		is similar to but not derived from (or vice versa) the
		"ogre" game recently distributed over the net.

	(3)	Steve Jackon games owns the copyright to the "ogre" game
		distributed over the net.

	(4)	Something other than (1), (2), or (3) above...
