FWIW, there's a discussion on legal-discuss that is, I think, related to this thread: https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/201901.mbox/%3CCAK1xzDeKTOEpKED3PzTLuKkbtRi5ubv5AijcB%3DDvzo8PO0jU4w%40mail.gmail.com%3E
And there's a link in that thread that may be somewhat relevant as well: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-427?focusedCommentId=16722198&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16722198 Jan On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 4:54 PM Emilian Bold <[email protected]> wrote: > Note that the Apache link is about trademarks.
