Hello, the ASF has some guides for using trademarks. http://apache.org/foundation/marks/
If in doubt, there is a trademark mailinglist: [email protected] To subscribe, use: [email protected] That being said, projects do not give "rights on using trademarks". But of course there is a good chance he can use it, when he follows the link above. In special cases, as mentioned, the trademark group is here and they decide, if the use is proper or not. Please let me know if there are more questions, I gladly help out. Hope that helped Cheers Christian On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 6:32 PM, Peter Junge <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to propose --*seeking lazy consensus*-- that the BHV publishing > GmbH, Novesiastrasse 60, D-41564 Kaarst (Germany) is permitted to use the > OpenOffice.org logo and trademark for their book (in preparation) > "OpenOffice.org 3.3 für Ein- und Umsteiger" [1] [2], means something like > "OOo 3.3 for beginners and people who are migrating" in English.
