I think that might because OpenStack is both an upstream and effectively a distribution (which you're attempting to control via trademarks and defcore). What you're seeing is natural schizophrenia because it's really hard to think of upstream and distribution at the same time (upstream tends to think of pure implementations and distros tend to think about what their specific customers need and problems). I'm not saying don't do this ... effectively Mozilla does this as well, but it is the source of the confusion, I think.
