Trademarks and copyrights are two very different things. We don't
allow copyrighted material that is released under an incompatible
license in the directory.

But the actual *use* of the mark in question is important when it
comes to trademarks. Trademarks don't have the same inherent
properties as a copyright does, and as such present no problems with
being in the directory as long as they are not being used improperly.
Like, you couldn't use Facebook's trademarked logo in a way designed
to cause user confusion. But if you're actually linking to/referring
to Facebook, then it's probably okay.
