Stating that your product is under Fooware Company's Fooware Public
Licence is _nothing the least bit_ like using its marks to advertise to
advertise a product competing with Fooware's.  Instead, that is a prime
example (to reiterate) of what in trademark law is called "nominative
use" -- and I strongly doubt that your country or any other in Europe,
or frankly, any country, would ever adjudicate such usage as trademark
infringement.

If you live in a country that would, then you have bigger problems than
this licence proposal -- but I'm calling this whole issue of yours bogus
and leaving it at that.
