Hi,

In case you are not aware of, Debian has made an announcement about " Debian's hassle-free trademarks" [1] .  I think that the problematic is quite similar to the one with OSM branding so it could be perhaps interesting to look at what has been done on their side and check if it can be usefull to reuse some ideas.

My 2 cents...
