There may be problems with trademarks, such as saying "GNUstep is Cocoa compatible". Stuff like that?

I presume that GNUstep is an independent, from-scratch implementation
of the OpenStep API that has been published as open API, i.e.
anybody can write it's own implementation.

Thus, GNUstep is not an Apple derivative work at all
and violates no Apple copyright whatsoever.

Is this correct?
