--- Comment #14 from Arthur Richards <[email protected]> 2012-10-31 23:09:00 UTC --- At a quick glance, I think that is a sane approach (will test and merge shortly). For folks not privy to the correspondence with the legal team, here are the options they gave: "(1) We can put (R) on all wordmarks and logos (except the Wiktionary logos) in their non-localized versions for the US and EU and put (TM) on all others. (2) We can leave out any indication of trademark designations at all. (3) We can leave out any trademark designations and add a sentence at the bottom of a project page (perhaps where the CC-BY-SA and Terms of Use info is) stating that "The trademarks and logos of the Wikimedia Foundation are not included under the terms of this Creative Commons license and are subject to the terms of the Trademark Policy." or "[Insert applicable project name] and its accompanying logos are pending trademark registration or are registered trademarks of the Wikimedia Foundation and are subject to the terms of the Trademark Policy." (4) We can leave out any trademark designations and link to the Trademark Policy where we have links to the Privacy Policy, About [Project Name], etc. The Trademark Policy will be going through a re-write over the next year and many of these issues will be better laid out there. Of all of these options, I strongly urge you to avoid option #2 as it gives no notice of trademark claims to the general public, and could thereby confuse users into believing that the marks can be freely reused in a manner similar to other project content. Option #2 similarly leaves our marks open to the possibility of being weakened due lack of such notice." So, a while back, the previous product manager for the mobile team opted for #1 (which is why things are the way they are), and why I think Brion's solution is a good interim solution. Until there is a clear path forward, I think we should implement Brion's change which will allow for having TM/(R) show up based on a site's configuration settings (off by default), but leave it enabled on the WMF sites for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
