You've picked a particularly interesting case, since I believe SGI has
in the past tried to protect the names of its calls as copyrighted,
proprietary, trademarked, or some such.

In general, I would AssUMe that, like book titles, you can use/reuse
names as you please.  But SGI was trying to play a different game, at
least for a while.
