Poll: Debian Trademark Policy

MJ Ray · External Since: Jun 02, 2005 Posts: 273

Which of the following do you think should be the basis of the future
debian trademark policy?

[ ] - Announcement About the Debian Trademark
http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19980306a

[ ] - Licensing all businesses on request under "non-exclusive,
royalty-free, non-transferable" terms (as currently used for some
in addition to the above - I will publish sample terms if permitted)

[ ] - TrademarkFreedom
http://wiki.mako.cc/TrademarkFreedom?action=recall&rev=6

[ ] - ProposedTrademarkPolicy
http://wiki.debian.org/ProposedTrademarkPolicy?action=recall&rev=7

[ ] - something else

Email it to mjr-trademarkpoll RemoveThis @debian.org with 1 2 3 4 5 in the boxes,
so we can see which way to head. I'll summarise in a week or two.

Other comments also welcome, to me or to a list.

Regards,

Just to clarify: 1 = first preference, down to 5 = least liked.

The poll includes both, but as you note, some of the options only
seem to cover the word at present. Whether we should develop them to
also cover the logos is an interesting question for later, but not
really about the general approach.

Yes, it was intentionally left out. It seemed to be discussing
ProposedTrademarkPolicy, which is an option on the poll.

Sorry, I'm lagging. Now I've decided that some are deliberately
trying to snow me under by trying to make me do me pointless tasks,
I'm firewalling them, so things will improve.

Open to all. I think this affects all contributors, whether DD or
not, commercial or not.

Hope that clarifies,
