[Auugps] Request relating to our AUUG trading name

I couldn't find any clear etymology of their name - whether their AUUG is
an abbreviation or not.

But if we can't deregister the association, we likely won't be able to
change the name.

I think they're out of luck for choosing a name already in use - we
probably couldn't help even if we wanted to.
