The GPL is exclusively dealing with *copyright* issues. Trademark is an entirely different area of law and one not covered by the GPL. There is no incompatibility between the GPL and enforcing one's trademark. OpenSUSE - and, indeed, Red Hat Enterprise Linux - are entirely GPL-compliant from this view.
We at Mandriva also enforce our trademarks, BTW, though perhaps not as strictly as Red Hat.
