Presumably something like "Linux", where although it's owned by Linus Torvalds, there is no single bully organization that gets to use it to the exclusion of others. So, the opposite of something like Mozilla, where Mozilla Foundation owns the trademark, but there's a for-profit vendor that also gets to use it in exchange for kickbacks to the Mozilla Foundation, no one else in the community can operate under that banner, and they have to make it abundantly clear that their work is not endorsed by Mozilla.
