What if I start to make enterprise products called Coolduino, and I say "my products are for the Arduino framework ecosystem" - will you come after me?

They have a license page for this

Not-legally-binding tl;dr The "duino" suffix could be a trademark issue. If you rename it and you keep your hardware designs open source you're fine. Otherwise contact them for a proprietary use license.

Hmmm that's a bummer, maybe I'll just fork it, call it something else and then claim I created it in a weekend.
CC-BY-SA-4.0, so you also can't claim original creation of it, you have to maintain an attribution to the original creator and you cannot change the license.
