Hi Laura

Kindly I don't think that is how trademarks work. Afaik sugar itself isn't
a trademark. If it was probably the sugar network and sugarizer would need
to be licensed, but afaik they arent. This company doesn't represent itself
as "Sugar Labs" which is a tm (and as other companies do, which I think is
problematic) but says that it (which implies its officers) contribute to
sugar which seems plainly true.

Maybe your suggested clarification is good, but its not a trademark issue.
The point of trademarks are to prevent confusion by consumers about who is
offering commodities.

Cheers
Dave
