Anyone can use the debian trademark in any field of endeavor.
That said, if the field of endeavor in question has to do with software,
"debian" means "debian", and not "microsoft" or "novell". Mind you, even
microsoft and novell could use the debian trademark to refer to something
they distribute, but it would have to be the right kind of stuff.
So... what is the DFSG restriction that's violated?
For example, is the problem that the trademark can be published without
the source code?
