I think the reason GPLv3 isn't tackling trademarks is that they haven't become a big problem, and there aren't clear signs that they will.
That's good then. It seemed possible trademarks could be used to exert some "control".. in the same sense that a software license ensuring source code is useless if the code is all covered by software parents which are enforceable. A clause would prevent trademarks being used in the same way, It'd be a shame to have to say "I told you so" in the future. Imagine if a toolkit vendor said all the "Zt" had to be removed, and all the classes have the trademark "Z" name prefix removed on anyone's redistributed copies. It might be practically not worth the effort in attempting the task!
