Hi,

> None of that turns them into policemen of brand infringements.

Perhaps reread [1] it's quite clear on the subject. Also see [2] which asks 
them to be exactly that.  From [2]:

"PMCs are expected to manage this process. If a third party does not respond 
favorably to the PMC's requests, or responds in a hostile or legalistic manner, 
please report to Brand Management."

>  Can they send a cease and desist? A takedown notice to docker?

Nor do they need to, often a friendly email will achieve a good result or an 
outcome that works for everyone. If a solution can’t be found then brand can 
deal with it.

Thanks,
Justin
