What does "trademarks stripped" mean though?  Does it mean they want the
product not to be called <trademark>?  Or do they want every single line of
code that has the name in it removed, so, for instance, a help box or even
code comments that say "Based on the driver for <trademark>" must be removed?
And what if the trademark is used in a different context; would that be
like the Apache license that prohibits you from using it in a program called
"Apache Helicpoter Simulation"?
