Use of the trademark in a purely descriptive fashion is always
permitted. FE, it is perfectly legal to say that your custom rod is
based on a Ford Model T.

The problem is with the usages that are not purely descriptive; a
handful of those remaining still need to be corrected (the one that I
can see right now is the "Debian Common Core" in the FAQ.)
