Some things I stumbled across while reading:

1. The current "Name and Logo Usage Guidelines" include a picture
of the "g" logo. Wouldn't this also be useful for the new trademark
document?

2. Section "Products and services serving the community" says "the
website or product does not use the official Gentoo logo or color
pallet in its design, except as provided for by earlier sections in
this license". This raises several questions:
- This is the first time the document mentions "the official Gentoo
  logo or color pallet". So it's not clear to me what would be the
  "earlier sections" that are referred to.
- Also, what is the "official Gentoo color pallet"? Shouldn't the
  document define this, or at least reference it? Is it part of the
  trademark? If not, why is it mentioned here?
- Isn't the painter's tool spelled "palette", whereas a "pallet" is
  used when lifting goods with a forklift?
