That is a good point, it's not that far fetched for people to release
modules named "Odoo <something>" just to make it seem more official
and of good quality.
I think OpenERP SA should give the right to use the Odoo trademark for
modules name only to the OCA association: that way if you want to name
a module Odoo you have to pass through the OCA and, therefore, through
a "peer review" process.
