I can definitely see a practical concern here. In the second case, (TrademarkedName) is usually the organization — for example, the WordNet variant says "The name of Princeton University or Princeton may not be used in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the software and/or database." That's easy to follow. On the other hand, it's very common for us to use the name of a piece of software in Fedora Linux release announcements. Like, "This release now includes WordNet 3.0", or whatever. -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
