The discussion on trademarks is about general sponsor links. As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with “Fork Me”.
I read the thread on board@ and I looked at the notes in the agenda from 2014_12_17. I don’t see a consensus that Fork Me is not allowed. I do see a consensus that it’s not preferred. I do see that Wicket removed it. Other projects still have it. I do see a preference to have an alternate ribbon which doesn’t have the words “GitHub”, but has the same behavior. I’m not sure if any such ribbon was ever created. Justin, you mention something Sally mocked up, but I couldn’t find that. Do you have a link? If an alternate ribbon was created, that should be recommended instead of making a blanket statement that “Fork Me” is not allowed.
