Then I'm slightly confused as to your concept of trademark infringement. If I label the car I've built as a Ford (even if it uses a lot of Ford parts), it infringes Ford's trademark.
I haven't heard anyone else disputing that to ship a web browser called "Firefox", Debian needs an arrangement with the owner of the trademark "Firefox" as applied to web browsers.
