Re: [steering-discuss] Confused by our Trademark Policy ...

Hi Charles,

thanks a lot for managing this, and for your patience. +1 to the policy.

Just one small thing: Legally, marks do currently *not* belong to TDF, 
as TDF does not exist. They legally belong to OOoDeV, but I would waive 
the necessity to mention that until either OOoDeV has renamed itself 
(the annual meeting will decide on that in April), or TDF legally exists.

Another mark: Maybe we should add a version and/or a date to the TM 
policy, so we know which version people refer to. Like "TM policy as of 
2011-03-29"

And then a note: Google has locked our two marks for use in advertising, 
so I hope this will limit the amount of fraudulent sites. Anyone seeking 
permission to use these marks in advertising can also contact the legal@ 
alias and we can decide on exceptions. I want things to be as easy as 
possible.

Florian
