Re: [asterisk-biz] Digium enforcing its trademarks

[Moshe Maeir]

I love Digium and Mark for what they have done for open source telephony. I do not like the direction that Digium  is taking. At one point which may not be too far off, will Digium and the community part and go each on their own way?? Today, I vented my frustration on my blog http://flatplanetphone.com/wordpress/?p=450 If you feel the same, please do likewise Moshe Kevin P.

The issue is *not* the use of the trademarks within the ad copy itself (as you rightly point out), it is the purchase of search results/listings for those trademarks via the AdWords process. As far as I'm aware, it's perfectly acceptable to have an ad that says "Our products are compatible with Asterisk" or "Our products are based on Asterisk" or similar copy, but purchasing 'Asterisk' or 'Digium' as a keyword to get those ads to show up in searches is not allowed unless Digium has authorized you to do so.
