Well, that's kind of covered in
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Trademark_guidelines#Advocacy_Groups
isn't it?

The openSUSE approach is to authorize what is thought reasonable / fair,
without any form, and for everything else, explicitly require that
permission is asked.

I guess my point is something like this: if we can define those "certain
conditions" and say it's okay to use the trademark in those cases, isn't
it fine to just skip the form? Okay, I guess that's a question for a
lawyer...
