Hi :) +1 I like it. It gets the name "out there". Perhaps the back of the box could say
"LibreOffice is a registered trademark." as you suggested? or "LibreOffice is owned by The Document Foundation and is a registered trademark."? I thought the Branding Guidelines would cover this sort of request?

For confidentiality reasons (the product has not yet been launched), I'll remove the name, but the request is as follows: Front of the product box: XYZ for OpenOffice and LibreOffice Back of the product box: LibreOffice is a registered trademark of The Document Foundation. My thoughts: - OpenOffice is written wrong (.org is missing, but that's not our concern) - TDF doesn't legally exist, so I would simply remove the trademark holder entity from the text. Otherwise, I am fine with the text, as it doesn't look like an official product, nor that we endorse it; IMHO, it is not even required to get our permission to use it from a legal point of view. However, IANAL. Thoughts on that?
