No, they are NOT restricted from distributing
And such a ruling would be far outside the jurisdiction of this court. A trademark decision has been rendered. The company may not use its name in the Benelux countries, plus, I think, Finland and Sweden.

It is an unconscionable stretch to make wild accusations about free distribution that have no basis in law.

IANAL, but I can still read.
