[opensuse-el] ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ Fwd: opensuse.gr approved

Καλημέρα σε όλους
Πριν λίγες ώρες έλαβα το παρακάτω e-mail από τον Allan Clark, Πρόεδρο
του openSUSE Board, με το οποίο μας εξουσιοδοτεί επίσημα για την χρήση
του opensuse.gr .
 Η απόφαση πάρθηκε με ψηφοφορία του openSUSE Board την προηγούμενη
βδομάδα αφού πρώτα εξετάστηκε από το νομικό τμήμα της Novel και όσοι
ήταν on-line στο IRC το έμαθαν τότε. Το μόνο που περιμέναμε για να
γίνει επίσημο ήταν αυτό.
 Άλλη μια απόδειξη το πόσο σοβαρή δουλειά κάνουμε και πόσο σοβαρά
βλέπουν την Ελληνική κοινότητα openSUSE στο εξωτερικό.

Να περνάτε καλά ;-)

HI Kostas
I know you are aware of this from the last project meeting, but I
wanted to send you an official email to inform you that the openSUSE
board met and has granted you permission to use our openSUSE
trademark.

Here's the legal ease:
We grant you permission to continue to use our openSUSE trademark in
your opensuse.gr domain name.  This permission has certain conditions.
 First, you must agree that openSUSE is a Novell trademark, and any
goodwill generated by your use will benefit openSUSE.org.  Second, you
must acknowledge that Novell expects the content at opensuse.gr to be
of high quality and integrity, consistent with our industry's
standards.  Third, you must agree that you have no right to authorize
others to use our openSUSE trademark, or to use our openSUSE trademark
yourself outside the bounds of this permission.  Fourth, you must post
prominently on your website a notice stating that "openSUSE is a
registered trademark of Novell, Inc. and is used with permission."
Fifth, you must acknowledge that Novell will accept no liability for
your use of the openSUSE trademark.  And finally, please be aware that
Novell can revoke this permission at any time and for any reason (or
no reason).

Thanks for being part of the openSUSE community.  I've enjoyed getting
to know you.

The openSUSE Board
Alan Clark
