How many people have only heard of "Open for Business"?
When did the ofbiz.org and OFBiz name start to get used?
Perhaps this might be a good headline for a page on the mission
statement, vision and history.
I do not see any reason why this phrase can not be used in conjunction
with the trademark.
Many companies associate a slogan with their trademark.
IBM has used "Think" as a slogan. This did not stop Apple from using
"Think different" in its marketing campaign. Apple can not use the IBM
graphic trademark.
SAP could easily use "Open for On-Line Business" even if we use "Open
for Business".
They might have more trouble putting the Apache OFBiz trademark on a
comparison page on their web site if we felt that the comparison was
detrimental to the Apache OFBiz brand. We could not stop them from using
just the text "OFBiz" in their marketing to refer to the product.

I agree but I think we should explain on main page that OFBiz stands for "Open for
Business"
