For the final time: the GPL is a copyright license. A copyright license covers 
copyright. At no time will it ever cover trademarks in any way, shape or 
form. The trademarks have to be protected or they will fall into the public 
domain. You can't even use the trademark "linux" as you choose, it's just the 
way the law works.

Everything where copyright applies is covered by the GPL. Copyright doesn't 
apply to trademarks, so neither does the GPL. Ever. For anyone. Not even 
Debian or the FSF.
