Look at the Linux(TM) trademark for the answer.
Linus Torvalds trademarked the name "Linux", but only those Linux distro vendors that included "Linux" in the distro name have to pay for the trademark. Examples:

Gentoo Linux=yes
Ubuntu=no
Suse Linux=yes
Slax=no
Linspire=no

So most likely, yes, you can say "All new 'Foo', a Bittorrent Client", but you can't say "Foo BitTorrent" or maybe "Foo BT". I'm pretty sure that's how Mr. Cohen will do it.
