Yes, at Polish OpenMoko community page we have slightly repainted logo just to point our Polish roots ;) So I'm curious if we didn't breake the law doing this.

Re: OpenMoko trademark issues...
Great...but what is the policy for use among the community? That is the question here. Anyways, it is good to see that they filed with the USPTO. :) ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yes a good thing to bring up, what with us all using their name and mark in volunteer stuff. As Cassj said, they have the legal work done to claim the marks but they do need a policy by which we the community can use them to promote OpenMoko. I'm sure other communities have this issue too. The Python community wants the Python trademark to be used to promote Python, in acceptable ways. The OpenMoko team can probably clip and rework the explanatory material to come up with their own policy. And if others know of good policy write-ups on other community trademarks, let's get them to Sean for his consideration. The Python trademark policy can be read at: http://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/ I think it is a pretty reasonable one. -Jeff ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
