I'm not 100% sure this is a good idea. Wouldn't that help people get (more)
confused about licenses/copyrights vs. trademarks? 

The license page is currently very simple and to the point, it
documents the license of the _web_ pages. The trademark page I proposed is
more convoluted and descriptive and goes beyond the website license. Adding
that and keeping the name 'license' of the URL is misleading as more text
will be devoted to the trademark than to the license itself.

However, currently, the 'license' page has some information on the trademark.
So I would change it to point to this page (if kept separate).

I'm open to suggestions, however,  if more people feel they should be
together I will commit it as a patch to the license page. Anyone?

Will do. It seems I need a refreshing HTML course.

Good. Will do.
