A package name in the archive and the names of programs on the filesystem are functional elements (the first is referenced in dependencies and impacts installability, the second is referenced in scripts and impacts runtime behavior) and I do not believe these to be covered by trademarks. If these uses of the word "chef" fall under fair use as I believe, then there is no conflict with Chef's trademark policy (as we are not trading on this name, using it in our advertising, etc).

The report of the issue appears not to come from a representative of Chef Software, Inc.

I do not believe there is any action to be taken on the package in the focal release based on this report.
