Is there any formal guideline for using OpenOffice.org trademark(s). I see mentions about the trademark here and there, e.g. use the logo with (R) once, but never see a detail guideline.
I have a consulting company that help corporate migrate to OOo. So I have some (promotional/marketing) materials that include the "OpenOffice.org" trademarks. In the promotional materials, like posters and brochures, I always mention the trademarks owner. But it's not always possible to do that, e.g. t-shirts. And if I'd like to make T-Shirts or premiums with OOo logo to give as rewards for users contest, do I have to ask for permission? case by case? If I'd like to put the logo on my name cards which is purely commercial use of the logo, can I do so? Mozilla has a strict, detailed guideline for its logos which is quite restrictive. For Ubuntu, if you're in Canonical's affiliate programs, you're free to use the Ubuntu logos for commercial purpose. It is the best if we have some kind of affiliate programs like Canonical. It's not like being listed in the consultant page, which is more like Ubuntu's Marketplace. It's like having some business relationship with the OpenOffice.org project, or Sun Microsystems. I guess what lack is the certification (which is in progress). But it may be possible to have the affiliate program w/o the certification program. Only you have to say that you do the business that help spread OOo. And you do help some customers/prospects to use it. Possible? -- _/|\_ Samphan Raruenrom. Open Source Development Co., Ltd.
