As the trademark filer, Stefan can make exceptions.
Since the restriction is on "OpenOffice.org" and not "OpenOffice", this
means that advertisers can still present text ads which read
"OpenOffice" rather than the official "OpenOffice.org".
I thought we wanted to make sure "OpenOffice.org" is used rather than
"OpenOffice" in promotions? Further, I think there's a way to place a
(TM) next to a word in Google Adwords signifying the trademark.
Maybe we can come up with a policy where would-be advertisers can
request permission to use the trademark in ad copy and targeted keywords
through a form on OpenOffice.org Marketing site. That list of
advertisers would be communicated to Google and then Google would place
them on a "white list" and let those ads run.

Hi,
Now it seems it is forbidden, the reason being "it is a registered
trademark".
Is there a way a native-lang organization can overcome this ?
Stefan Taxhet should know more about that. To prohibit fraud, a
trademark complaint has been filed, that's the reason why all of a
sudden it doesn't work anymore. ;-)
I know it is possible for a trademark holder to define exceptions, but
Stefan can tell you more about it.
