The proposal says "Existing Flex-related conferences, podcasts and websites should be allowed to continue using “Flex” as part of their name - Apache Flex will have to create guidelines for that."
Whilst I don't see any problem with that in principle it would be really useful to itemise these items so that we know what we are dealing with.
It's a problem as a blanket statement. If the project is not going to donate its name, it needs to pick a new name on its way into the incubator, before graduation.
As far as acceptable specific uses for commercial purposes, there is a mechanism for writing MoU's between the ASF and such parties that clarify any possible confusion.
As far as acceptable generic cases, it is always acceptable to use any trademark in an informational context.
To offer an example, "Flex Conference 2012" would not be allowable without a MoU. "WizBang 2012; a technical conference about Apache Flex" doesn't need trademark permission, because in that second case, it is a simple statement of fact. "GooCorp Flex" product name would not be allowed without a MoU. "GooCorp FooD; based on Apache Flex" doesn't need trademark permission, because again it is a simple statement of fact.
We love adoption. We don't want entities to misrepresent themselves as the ASF project itself or that they are endorsed by the ASF.
