They do it by not including any mention of the name in the license and
then trademarking the appropriate logos/names so that they can't be used
without their permission (and then they usually grant a "blanket"
trademark license so e.g. you can call your own compiled "AbiWord", but
not "AbiSoft AbiWord" or something like that).
This is IMO the right way; copyright should *not* deal with naming
issues, that's the domain of trademarks.
