Apart from the historical fact that the DFSG was never written with
trademarks in mind - it speak about licenses, which is _not_ the
thing attached with Trademarks usually (as Trademarks are regulated by
really different laws than Licenses; the first ones are more or less a
monopole handed out by the state, whereas the second ones are
contracts).
