I'm assuming your story is true but if it is - then IBM was overly cautious and just didn't want to risk an expensive lawsuit over an abbreviation even though they would be guaranteed to win.
Trademarks apply *only* within the same field of industry - they don't apply to products from very different industries where there is no chance of confusion. There is no way that IBM could be confused with a car company and their RS-6000 with the Pontiac RS-6000.
People tend to forget (and the false logic of the "intellectual property" brigade re-enforces this) that trademarks do NOT exist to protect producers - they are a CONSUMER protection law. The idea being that if you buy something with company X's label for product Y on it you can be reasonably certain that you actually GET product Y from company X and not some cheap knock-off.
That is why they are so restricted - you can't trademark a common word or phrase, and if a trademark *becomes* a generic phrase for the type of product you lose the trademark. You also lose it if you don't aggressively defend it - which would explain why Pontiac would be loathe to agree even though their trademark clearly couldn't apply to IBM - for fear that somebody else could later claim they were not defending it and using that agreement as evidence.
In practise though, IBM should just have gone ahead - if Pontiac actually went ahead and filed suit they would have been laughed out of court.

The eyeballs on the code are not just theoretical, but are also there in practice -- and they are professional eyeballs at that.

The first part of the code audit was completed in April - a source code assisted security assessment of the TrueCrypt bootloader and Windows kernel driver. No serious problems were found, although many issues were highlighted, including a lack of comments, use of insecure or deprecated functions and inconsistent variable types. The product is also nearly impossible to compile from the source code, which means the majority of users download pre-compiled binaries, with all the attendant security risks.

The next part of the audit, a formal cryptanalysis, is underway.

The name Wine initially was an acronym for Windows emulator.[5] Its meaning later shifted to the recursive backronym, Wine is not an emulator in order to differentiate the software from CPU emulators.[6] While the name sometimes appears in the forms WINE and wine, the project developers have agreed to standardize on the form Wine.[7]
You lose.

The phrase "wine is not an emulator" is a reference to the fact that no processor code execution emulation occurs when running a Windows application under Wine. "Emulation" usually refers to the execution of compiled code intended for one processor (such as x86) by interpreting/recompiling software running on a different processor (such as PowerPC). Such emulation is almost always much slower than execution of the same code by the processor for which the code was compiled. In Wine, the Windows application's compiled x86 code runs at full native speed on the computer's x86 processor, just as it does when running under Windows. Windows system services are also supplied by Wine, in the form of wineserver.
Emulate (verb)
1 - To match or surpass (a person or achievement), typically by imitation.
2 - To imitate.
WINE is an emulator. It is not emulating hardware or an instruction set, it is emulating pieces of Windows. They initially claimed it was an emulator because it was. They later claimed it wasn't an emulator because they didn't want idiots (like yourself) to think that meant they were emulating hardware or an instruction set, and thus incurring a severe performance penalty. Emulation is absolutely not restricted to hardware or instruction sets, using recompilers, interpreters, or anything else.

2) threaten a developer and REQUIRE him to add a flaw and not reveal that he's doing it.
1) is a harder case, but it can partially be prevented by making all communication through a public forum. 2) could be prevented by treating every change to the code as a possible attack and reviewing it publicly by multiple people...

First of all, there's very little in a rebranding effort that will be of any significance if they're looking to relicense. The tricky part is that they must replicate the functionality from scratch, without getting derivative - typing it up again or changing the function or variable names won't be enough. That's a job they have to do in parallel, in the background until they're ready to ditch CipherShed 1.x (based on TrueCrypt) and release CipherShed 2.0 based entirely on non-TrueCrypt source code under the new license.
Yes, you might argue that they should do it in bits and pieces to the current source tree with dual licensed code, but that will make it harder to make non-derivative code. If you keep making things that fit into the current project, the internal structure will be very similar which is a bad thing from a legal point of view. I guess if you're interested in making new code for the new version they'll tell you what license they plan to use. Or you could dual license it TrueCrypt/BSD yourself, since that'll work no matter what they pick.
