Apologies for commenting so late in the piece, but I wanted to raise a couple of small points, for what it's worth - 1. "We are pleased to permit you to link to opensuse.org from your web site" Do people need permission to link to a website? I've never heard of that before. Permission to use an openSUSE graphic to do so, sure, but to actually link? I feel it sounds rather self-important. 2. Please do not create mock or parody products with names based on the openSUSE Marks. Also, please be aware that, in our opinion, it is not "fair use" to use the openSUSE Marks in a manner that disparages openSUSE technology or the openSUSE Project. I'm pretty sure that there is no legal leg to stand on in regards to a genuine parody. "Please do not create mock or parody products"? I can't help thinking this is an invitation to create a lime-green distribution called monoSUZY :) I'm also a little concerned about the 'in our opinion' regarding disparagement, since the only opinion that matters is the court's, which I expect have a list of very specific definitions of what constitutes fair use and disparagement and what doesn't. cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 3:11 AM, Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> wrote:

=== Publications ===
If you want to include all or part of an openSUSE Mark in the title or subtitle of a publication such as a book or magazine, you should seek our permission (see "Contact Information" below to request permission). =====
I'd suggest to say 'name' instead of 'title' here. Maybe that makes it clearer. Giving examples 'such as a book or magazin' is very helpful to learn what is included. Why not also give an example of what is not included. Something like this: 'You can use the openSUSE Mark in e.g. a title of review inside a magazine'
The general idea we should convey is this:
If a publication clearly talks about openSUSE in third person, it's fine. If a publication can be understood to represent, contain, be part of openSUSE, then they need approval.
'you should seek' is not really compulsory, is it? -> 'you need'
These are good suggestions. I think they resolve the problem. I'll incorporate them in the draft and send another revision of the proposal.
