Uh, you obviously didn't read the link I posted earlier:
https://www.debian.org/trademark
In particular:
As a part of this process, the Debian trademark is a registered United
States trademark of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., managed by
the Debian project.

SPI is certainly a legal body. They're a NY corporation:
http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/certificate-of-incorporation/
And I'm not suggesting that they offer "legal services" or that we
should retain them. If we used them then legally there would be no
"we" to retain them in the first place.
