If you want to start using that domain for Moodle-related services then there certainly would be a trademark problem:

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> RFC: Community hubs project for 2.0
by Martin Dougiamas -
The "Community Hubs" project is finally under way for Moodle 2.0.
This is the project to enable educators to publish their courses (for joining or downloading) to public or private communities.
You can find a design document here: Development:Community_hub
The major new thing is the development of the Moodle Hub Server software, which is like a directory of courses. Moodle sites can register specific courses with one or more Hub Servers just like they register with moodle.org today. I envisage that there will be some big public Hubs and lots of smaller private ones.
There is also a lot less focus on Mnet than there has been in previous talk about Hubs, and in fact Mnet is totally not required to make any of this work.
I would really appreciate your feedback about these plans in the new Hubs forum!

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> Moodle Grades into Sims.net -> Re: Moodle Grades into Sims.net
by Martin Dougiamas -
I've given up for now. 
Firstly they have a strange licensing scheme and no concept of "keys" or any sort of security token that you could put into a Moodle site to access SIMS.net remotely.
Secondly, their API seems to be 100% geared to the Microsoft .net framework (ie you need to be communicate via DLLs on the same server). No concept of web services and so on.
Thirdly there is absolutely no open source anywhere so we can't get hold of anything to play with.
I think this is a bit more than we (Moodle HQ) can take on right now ... I hope someone there in the UK can step up to this challenge (or provide an open source system good enough to completely replace SIMS).
I've attached the technical overview from the specs that I got to give you an idea of how things work ...
