They certainly can trademark the name "node", but why do you think this trademark requires you to add any ™ symbols anywhere? > * all node modules must have the following sentence in their copyright : > "Node.js is an official trademark of Joyent. > This module is not formally related to or endorsed by the official Joyent > Node.js open source or commercial project."

No, in fact there should be no changes you need to make to the package as a result of a trademark license because nothing we do in Debian packaging infringes trademark. You should ignore the license terms unless you're doing something with the name *aside from* packaging that could infringe the trademark. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
