    I would not worry about it...

    If you are so worried, contact your register and have them delete it from your account, and the
    domain will go back on the market...yahoo really does not want the domain, they just do not
    want people using domains that have their name within the domain, if compaines had to maintain
    such domains like this, they would end up paying millions per year in renewal fees.

    As long as you deactivated it then you should be all set.
    They really can't say anything as long as you are not using it and it is deactivated.

    Unfortunately that's a terrible idea. If you mean Go Daddy's service being a parking page
    with ads, that can give the impression you're trying to commercially ride on Yahoo's mark
    and all.

    See in their email how to contact them to transfer. Or if you don't really feel like it, then
    tell your registrar to delete it as dscurlock suggested.
