Jeremiah,

Please see the OSI's Trademark Usage Guidelines:

You might also find the OSI-vs-OSHWA tussel about logos interesting:

...this got resolved as follows: http://opensource.org/node/640

You could try to convince people like Richard Fontana, Lawrence Lessig, Eben Moglen, and Mark Radcliffe that trademarks signifying compliance are "legalistic nonsense" in the free/libre/open realm.  

I think they'd agree already. You're not going to sue anyone over trademark infringement on a project designed to help someone achieve compliance with the GPL. That's just silly.

Cheers,

Jeremiah
