From <https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/08/google_trademarks_open_usage_commons/>, Google is creating an organization specifically to deal with trademark issues, entirely separate from code. FSF Europe’s Alexander Sander says: “Trademarks issues are becoming more and more relevant for Free Software. This development is mainly due to the fact that Free Software is increasingly and successfully used in the commercial sector.” True, that. Consider the stoush between Debian and Mozilla over the “Firefox” trademark and branding, and the consequent creation of the “Iceweasel” fork. (Looks like that was eventually resolved amicably.) However, note this counterpoint from the Linux Foundation: "Under US trademark law you are not able to effectively separate ownership of a project mark from control of the underlying open source project."
