DMCA takedowns are for copyright only, not trademark. Requesting or demanding removal for trademark reasons is legitimate, but using the DMCA takedown process when there is not a copyright violation is fraudulent.

Because the AGPLv3 allows for trademark restrictions, violating the trademark revokes the copyright license.

AGPLv3 allows for adding trademark terms, which signal has not done.
