To label trademarks in the same bucket as copyright is a strawman
argument that's a very slippery slope.

Instead of restricting users, trademarks protect users from abuse by
providing a consistent user experience associated with a brand. It has
been lucky that the free software projects without trademarks have not
had a major upset by failing to comprehend the importance of names and
brands and how that could be abused by people with malicious intent.
