Hi, Thanks Rex for the heads up :) Yes, the goal is to just package the software, the source code won't likely be changed - so it wouldn't constitute a derivative work (in the sense of a forked source code). @Toshio : > Are there specific trademark licensing terms?

Zotero developer Simon Kornblith confirmed that it would be OK (see http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/23104/packaging-zotero-for-gnulinux-distributions/#Item_0). Alright, I'm then proceeding with the packaging. -Ilyes On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 2:24 PM, Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 07:47:32AM -0500, Rex Dieter wrote: >> Ilyes Gouta wrote: >> >> > What's the position of Fedora regarding using the same trademarked >> > program names (even if the source code is under an open source >> > license) ? >> >> There's lots of software in fedora already with names that are trademarked, >> so that alone is no cause for concern. >> > Are there specific trademark licensing terms?
