As Pjotr already stated: we should get in touch with the FSF to make
them file a case against this trademark. Also this might to so easy:

- Unfortunately we missed the opposition period (which is only 30 days
in the US, while in 3 Month Europa), which stated in November.

- The registration says: "First use 2014" and "Use in Commerce 2014".
Thus we need to proof we used "guix" earlier, e.g. using archive.org [1]

- We should also check for trademark registrations in other areas, e.g.
Europe, India, China.

- It might even be useful to invest ~300 € for registering GUIX as a
trademark in Europe.
