Whilst I believe that this is a good idea, from a practical application of trademark law standpoint, it is not necessarily a valid condition, because not all jurisdictions give deference to trademarks over domain names. Just something to be aware of. So say I decide to file a FQDN called f**klibreoffficeubstrds in some obscure territory's jurisdiction, and which most would consider to be disparaging at the least and offensive at the worst, then you might find you'll have a hard time being able to do anything about it. > Finally - I just realised that I'd like the "substantially unmodified" > clause to include a few more bundling bits: so > > "Substantially unmodified" means built from the source code > provided by TDF, possibly with minor modifications including > but not limited to: the enabling or disabling of certain > features by default, translations into other languages, changes > required for compatibility with a particular operating system > - distribution, or the inclusion of bug-fix patches)." > + distribution, the inclusion of bug-fix patches, or the bundling > + of additional fonts, templates, artwork and extensions) > Seems fair enough to me. The current clause is a bit waffly and this adds clarity.
