I'm sure they will. Trademark restrictions violate one of the four
freedoms and if you want I can ask Richard Stallman directly if this
trademark rule makes software non-free. Actually I'll just go ahead
and do it just to prove a point.

If I wanted to Fork Fedora, and I called it Fedora, i'd soon see a
letter from Redhat legal. I'm not free to use the name. Thus, if I
fork Fedora I am required by trademark law to rename it or be in
violation.
