But I was talking about whether trademark law alone would be able to make a work DFSG-unfree. Therefore, I was taking the permissions for the trademarked name in isolation, and so I said "if the trademark owner forbade us from removing the trademarked name, the work would be DFSG-unfree". If the license for the trademarks and the license for the work were inconsistent... well, it's not like it never happened before :-) -- Jacobo Tarrío | http://jacobo.tarrio.org/
