I think, it would make me nervos searching after phpmyadmin, and then to see such an adword. Is there no way to stop such misundersatnding adwords or advertise? And of course, it's terrible to see such an adword on sf.net ;)
How about trying to communicate with google? Maybe they're willing to help.

well, why would/should they help? :) It's legal, and we don't have a trademark or any legal rights on the 'phpmyadmin' name (afaik).
I guess the only way to fight that is to also make some ads... But the situation is not really new: we can talk about that next week :)

I don't know anything how legal it is, one friend promised to ask lawyer, so I will get more precise answer ;-).
