Trademark licensing

+ One of the functions that the GNOME Foundation provides is to + act as the legal owner for such GNOME project assets as the + GNOME name and the GNOME foot. These trademarks are some of + GNOME's most important assets. We must protect the trademarks in + order to keep them. Therefore, we have some guidelines for their + use and a standard agreement for user groups. These cover many + common situations; if you need permission to use the GNOME + trademarks in other ways or have other questions, please + contact licensing@gnome.org. +

+

+ The GNOME trademarks are: +

+
    +
  • The word GNOME™
    • +
  • The GNOME foot logo:
    • +
      +

      Third-party usage guidelines

      +

      + Under the law, “fair use” of trademarks is allowed (for example, + trademarks typically may be used without permission in magazine + and book reviews). The GNOME + Foundation trademark usage guidelines for third parties + describe what is appropriate fair use of the GNOME trademarks. +

      +

      User group license agreement

      +

      + User groups are a very important part of the GNOME + community. User groups have a need to make use of the GNOME + trademarks in such ways as creating and distributing marketing + materials or creating web sites. (The usage of the term user + group here is broad: the canonical example would be a group of + people using and promoting GNOME in a specific locality, but it + could also be a group of developers working on an open source + GNOME application or many similar non-commerical uses.) +

      +

      + By agreeing to the GNOME user + group license agreement a user group obtains permission to + use the GNOME trademarks under certain conditions.
