Welcome!
Welcome to the Model Trademark Guidelines, designed for free and open source software communities. This site provides language one might use for trademark guidelines for FLOSS software projects. It describes various provisions that might be included in trademark guidelines and identifies the legal considerations for the provisions. It is not intended to advocate for any particular set of restrictions, but rather is designed to provide a range of choices that would be found lawful and enforceable under trademark law, that are consistent with FLOSS culture, and that respect the trademark owner's desire to ensure that the software distributed under the trademark delivers a consistent user experience and meets the brand promise of the name.
How the Wiki Works
How to use wiki: use discussion pages to explain reasoning. Keep it all in one place so everyone can share. Welcome views from everyone; hope to have some strong debates about what FOSS software communities need and what they can do to protect their legal interests.
