I think the point of note here is that requiring the removal of trademarks in modification scenarios does not conflict with the open source license of the Eclipse works. The hypothetical concern is that a trademarks guidelines for use somehow create a situation where it is not possible to comply with them and the open source software copyright license at the same time, and I believe Pam is asserting that she did not think that was possible.
