Given that near certainty how do you read the license to see that the license allows further development/distribution?

You cannot distribute zimbra without the trademarks (because of the attribution clause in the license), if MS denies you access to those trademarks, you will be in violation of either MS's trademarks or the Zimbra license, both of which MS will sue you for to kill Zimbra. How do you proceed? What is the answer to this?
I am no lawyer, but if the licence that is bundled with the software says you are authorized/must use the Zimbra logo in any future development/distribution of that copy of the software, then thats good enough for me, regardless of any future outcomes.
