The purchase date of the domain is irrelevant. The Django Software Foundation owns the trademark for Django. It's been a registered trademark (in the US) for 6 years; we had a trademark-by-use for several years prior to that. Outside the US, we have a trademark-by-use for the same period.
Anyone using the Django trademark prior to the publication of the license agreement has been doing so under ambiguous legal conditions. From a legal standpoint, the default position of the law for trademarks is the same as it is for copyright -- if there's no explicitly given license, the default legal position is "you can't use it". The legal conditions for using the Django trademark are now unambiguous. We've published a licensing agreement that outlines specifically allowed terms for use. If your usage doesn't meet those terms, you aren't using the trademark legally.
