Draft Debian trademark policy

This article is a draft. Out of respect for the unreleased status of this information, please do not cite or republish information here without permission. If you'd like to do so, ask by editing this page!

This is a draft of a Debian Trademark Policy. This is not an official or accepted policy or even a complete draft of one. It's a set of notes that explain the thinking of some interested parties on the issues involved.

The goal of the document is to explain the nature of trademark law to users and to create a policy that is "as free as possible" within the current limitations of trademark law and that simplifies, streamlines, explains, and documents common cases.

Since the desire of this policy is one shared by several other organizations, it can/should be rewritten to serve as a more generic trademark policy for organizations.
