Upon further research, it seems it wasn't the *Python* trademark that
was at issue. From the Jython FAQ page:


1.2   How does Jython relate to JPython?

Jython is the successor to JPython. The Jython project was created in 
accordance with the CNRI JPython 1.1.x license, in order to ensure the 
continued existence and development of this important piece of Python 
software. The intent is to manage this project with the same open 
policies that are serving CPython so well.

The name had to be changed to something other than JPython, because of 
paragraph 4 in the JPython-1.1 license:

4. Licensee may not use CNRI trademarks or trade name, including
    JPython [...] to endorse or promote products [...]


So there was no dispute, they were just following the terms of a
licence.
