Some of the things that are explicitly allowed by the policy are things that AFAIK are not restricted by trademark law, is the purpose of including those to reduce the number of questions from people who aren't well informed about the restrictions in trademark law? The NeuroDebian project (and other Debian derivatives and sub-projects) has a logo that is modified from the Debian one, that would appear to not be allowed if we were to trademark the swirl logo. Also some derivatives also use a name that is similar to "Debian", for example Debathena, Emdebian. http://neuro.debian.net/_static/fmri_w200.png http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/proposed-logo.png http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/log/2011/07/11/debian-derivative-logos/ Does the domain name restriction mean that sites like these will have to rename themselves? http://www.debian-administration.org/ http://www.debian-news.net/ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
