Yes, having a previous trademark makes things a little different.

I agree that themes should be an exception. I'd like to encourage brands to
create their own instances (Red Cross, ESPN) and requiring that their theme
be shared back to the community for anyone to use does seem like a point of
contention, particularly when the theme involves their
previously-trademarked logo.

BTW, Evan, I appreciate how diligent you've been about making sure new
instances share their code back. Nice to see :)
