The paragraphs you seem to be referring to are not licenses. They only
refer to OSL and ESL licenses.

You have to find their ESL and OSL licenses to claim OSI trademark
infringement, I guess. Did you try asking them for license copies? I
know it is frustrating, but we have to analyse the real thing before
making far-fetching conclusions.
