If this is a pure trademark issue, what keeps the "ticked off" organizations from forking the project under a non-trademarked name? Just call it cloudweasel, or something.

Only Google considers it to be a trademark issue. The external developers were hoping that having the project in the CNCF would allow them to have more say over its development while still benefiting from Google's ongoing contributions. Now they have to pick one or the other.
