5) Kerberos is a trademark of MIT. We cannot legally distribute software under that name.
I disagree.
1) I find no record that MIT has a trademark on Kerberos. The USPTO Trademark Electronic Search System shows efforts by MIT to trademark Kerberos in the early 90's were abandoned. Published articles up until the late 90's may claim a trademark by MIT, but this is not the case.
2) There are no trademarks by anyone else on Kerberos.
3) Major commercial distributions freely name their products Kerberos, although prepended with their corporation's name, eg:
Microsoft Kerberos http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthn/security/microsoft_kerberos.asp
JCSI Kerberos http://www.wedgetail.com/jcsi/kerberos/FAQ.html

It is the responsibility of all Apache projects to search for and verify compliance with trademark law prior to release of products that might be considered an infringement.
