Does it qualify as DFSG-free if you give it a free copyright licence
without granting any kind of trademark licence?
If it doesn't, what exactly are the situations in which a trademark
licence is required in addition to a copyright licence? I note that
many packages contain the word "Microsoft" without there being a
DFSG-free licence for that trademark, so a line would have to be drawn
somewhere between the two cases; I can't immediately see how or why.
