We will have to explore this further.

But I don't believe Sugar Labs is interested in controlling any thing:(

Instead, Sugar Labs would like to leverage the Sugar and Sugar Labs
brands as 'marks of quality' so that when our partners, like you, sell
products, their customers know they are getting quality educational
products.

This will require some degree of control to limit the mis-use of sugar
in substandard products.
