Info related to the use of trademarks in documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There was an interesting note in a recent fedoraproject.org newsletter
regarding Redhat's legal views on referring to others' trademarks. Since
the comments are lengthy, they are not reproduced here and are available
at the links below.

Fedora Packaging Guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Trademarks_in_Summary_or_Description

Although they are really talking about non-Redhat trademarks, the points
are equally applicable to the Redhat trademarks and related issues as
might (or might not) be used in CentOS documentation.

Those comments make interesting food-for-thought with regard to the off
and on discussions on how to or how not to (or how if-at-all to) refer
to Redhat in CentOS documentation.
