I have already responded to most of this in my last post, but I will add 
one more point: we could certainly add a clause to the LICENSE file that 
gave distributions the right to make non-substantial modifications to 
the source code for compatibility/etc. without losing the ability to use 
the trademark. This would not allow (for example) bundling in major 
changes such as 'bristuff', but would allow for file locations to be 
changed, permissions modification, that sort of thing, designed for 
compatibility with the platform it's being built for.

Would that alleviate your concerns? If so, I'll run it past the relevant 
people at Digium (and our legal counsel), so it would probably not be 
something we could do until after Astricon next week, but I'd be happy 
to do it.
