Hi, Here is a continued effort of the thread "Update project maturity model to include trademark and branding?"[1] early this year.
[1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/oc9jft1tyo7cbphcyrtwobf4w5rcbhfw Brief background: During the graduation of podlings in incubation, we actively evaluate their treatment for trademark and branding. However, this is not reflected in our maturity model and can result in the friction of tribal knowledge. So, here is my proposed content updated for the project maturity model: Content BEGIN Notable items from the Trademark Policy [1], FAQ [2], and Guide [3]. The project should comply with ASF's branding and trademark policy in all places it controls. [1] https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ [2] https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/ [3] https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/guide TB10 The project correctly uses "Apache Foo" as the project name where required. TB20 The project resolves any potential trademark issue pointed out to it promptly. TB30 The project proactively monitors 3rd party use of its trademarks, addressing any instances of misuse. (Note TB30: for example, regularly/irregularly check how downstream refer to the project, check how 3rd party sites refer to the project) TB40 Any existing previous domain name relating to the project name is under the PMC's control. TB50 Any existing trademarks relating to the project name have been or are in the process of being transferred to the ASF. Content END Feedback, thoughts, etc, are welcome. I'd first gather feedback on the terms, and once we agree on them, I'd submit a PR to [2] to update the related pages.
