If I understood correctly, once you have registered a trademark, you
can do What The Fuck you want with it, so if PP-FR doesn't want to sue
you, it doesn't have to. Note that since in France you can't renounce
your *droits d'auteur*, the licence you chose doesn't matter much
anyway : the original author can still oppose reuse of the material if
he wants to and free licence are just a statement of lack of will to
do so.
