Is there a copyleft equivalent for trademarks? I’m thinking of starting a project with distinct branding but I want everything to be based in FOSS principles.

    In most cases you don’t want one. It can make forks confusing and lend malicious actors more credibility than they deserve.

    Copyright controls the code. Trademarks are the recognisable names/icons that identify a project.
