Sorry, I read that the legal issues were due to using non-official sources and
that the license issue was being looked at half a year ago and now I see that
zarafa is AGPL, which is a fine license.

AFAIU any trademark issues are a different thing (and there is no discussion of
them in the bugzilla or even a legal block on this ticket, so how could one
know that there are any such issue?).

Anyway according to

    http://www.zarafa.com/content/copyright-trademark

if you were to import w/o any patches you may use the trademark. If you want to
have patches in the package (which you will), then the URL above says

    If you want to propagate modified versions  of the Program under the name
    "Zarafa" or "Zarafa Server", you may do so if you have a written permission
    by Zarafa (to acquire a permission please contact Zarafa at 
    trademark at zarafa.com). 

I'll send out a mail to this address and Cc you. I don't think Zarafa will deny
this request. And I don't think Fedora legal can do anything either, there is
nothing to decide, you either get the permission, or not. I think this is the
same issue like Mozilla Firefox.
