FWIW, it's clear that the trademark policy is intended to apply to users other than the WMF. This is all a bit overblown, considering the tiny scale of use and money involved.
IIRC, there were several affiliates that were previously running a store, and naturally supporting the most relevant languages of their community. They were effectively shutdown, and localisation lost due to centralisation to the WMF. The trademark policy provides a sound basis for this type of use of the trademarks, and could allow affiliates to re-open their own shops.
I'd like to know if anyone has received a trademark license under that "Commercial merchandise" provision of the trademark policy.
It would also be interesting to hear from anyone whose application for Commercial merchandise was rejected.
