The fact that people were registering .ml domains for projects like this is mindboggling. There are many TLDs to pick from without infringing on the terms of use of a country-specific one.

but ML also can stand for Marxist Leninist and im sure has been the the way it was read by most early adopters

The official and authorized use for the TLD is an association with Mali. It doesn't matter what hip new meaning us internet dweebs want to assign to it.

The difference being that Unilever won't confiscate your Q-Tips for cleaning out your earwax.
