Such a book could only help Wikipedia. Firefox became too concerned
with their name and it's usage, and people stopped using it (Debian) -
who does that help?
I think the goal was that the book would be released under a free
license and not sold for profit, not simply to litigate willy-nilly.
At any rate, as has been said, fair use in U.S. trademark law covers
this instance fully. The Foundation has no standing to force the
publisher to do anything. You can read more about U.S. trademark law at
