Case example: Audacity

I can't tell if the original commenter knows this or not, but from the comment it's easy to misunderstand so I'll mention that Debian as an organization is not anti-trademark, as can be seen from the fact that Debian also owns trademarks and has a policy for them (which isn't "do anything you want"): http://www.debian.org/trademark.en.html

Debian is also currently working on a policy for incoming trademarks to make it easier to decide what is acceptable (this is a fairly practical consideration, like "can we patch this to provide security support for the duration of a stable release" and such) and what should trigger a rename to remove the trademark.
