An earlier similar ruling is here: http://lists.spi-inc.org/pipermail/spi-announce/2004/000068.html Best place to ask questions is probably at the debian-legal@lists.debian.org mailinglist. The "head" of Debian with regard to this is probably the board of SPI (Software in the Public Interest), as they look after the Debian trademark, which seems to be the one relevant here.
