I had heard that WWF essentially told Vince that he could keep the name in exchange for a large annual donation to the Fund. At which point Vince decided he'd rather change the name of his 50+ year old company instead of save the pandas.

Don't know how much truth there is to that, but it sounds plausible to me.
