I don’t think either, but you are really nitpicking too much. So you
can’t call a derived version FreeAlice nor Alice? Who cares? The same
goes with trademarks of several packages we distribute.

Luke, if you are in touch with upstream, I think you could recommend
them to remove this clause and replace it by a trademark policy on the
"Alice" name. It is more efficient and more flexible at the same time.
