IMHO GeoFabrik simply needs permission to use the mark that way (and a further licence for "creating and using extremely unwieldy product names that just cause trouble" :-)).
Moving the current "product name" to the description and using something else as the name of the product would naturally remove the need for permission. A personal note: one of my pet peeves are the awful unimaginative, uncreative and descriptive product and service names used in OSM-space, while I can just barely live with community projects not doing better, you are not going to find me making excuses for commercial entities.
