I can't imagine there's a trademark issue since it's really just acting as
a mirror. If there were trademark issues, I imagine sites like
http://archive.org would be in big trouble. But, it certainly couldn't hurt
to find out.

Another option to sabotage the GH-rendered site is to add some javascript
which detects the location and displays an informative link back to the
canonical location for the site. That should be simple enough to do.
