Some of the proposed policies focus on the word "DEBIAN" trademark (which is, AFAIUI, the only registered trademark that is owned by SPI on behalf of the Debian Project), others also talk about the two logos (Open Use Logo and Official Use Logo, which are, AFAIUI, unregistered trademarks). Is this poll concerned with the word "DEBIAN", with the logos, or both? > > [ ] - Announcement About the Debian Trademark > http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19980306a This only talks about the word "DEBIAN", it seems. > > [ ] - 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 This looks like an incomplete draft: there are some parts which read "keep filling this in" and similar...

The comments above are intended to ask for clarifications, for anyone's benefit: that's why I chose to send them publicly to both debian-legal and debian-project. Disclaimers: IANAL, IANADD. P.S.: I'm subscribed to debian-legal, but not to debian-project; no need to Cc: me, so long as debian-legal is in the loop... -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
