That's fine on the work's own name. What about included artwork
and other marks? Often, people are unhappy about compelled
removals and it seems a rather "last resort" escape route.
If it's possible to have a DFSG-friendly trademark licence
for non-names, that would be really good and help sort out the
infringement of the debian mark within debian without non-free
licensing by consequence.
