Re: [GNU-linux-libre] [Freedom issue, originally posted on Parabola bug tracker] Trademarked logos

8jxvrx+1bfu4ijuj3e68, trademarks aren't necessarily a problem. Yes,
there is potential (add emphasis on that word there) for problems.
I'll include by reference how Mozilla's trademark policy goes too far
by including distribution restrictions going against freedom #2, but
that is a specific problem with a specific trademark policy and not
something inherently a problem with trademarks themselves. It is
necessary to evaluate each situation, and there doesn't seem to be
anything special going on with the cases you've pointed out.

Again, this is trivial (or rather, in my opinion, a total non-issue as
there's nothing wrong with trademarks) and has nothing whatsoever to do
with GNU FSDG standards. Why are you posting about trademarks and art
licenses here?

What concern do you have regarding trademarks?

There is a paragraph dedicated to them in the FSDG:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html#trademarks
