But quite apart from the legal issue, it’s also a question of common sense: - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks in a company or organisation name: seriously, do you want to impersonate us? - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks as name of a product or service: some companies would be delighted, but it’s really not a good idea because it would mean advertising on our behalf… and you wouldn’t want anyone to speak on your behalf, right? - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks in a domain name, with or without commercial purposes, including social media: a domain name is also a mark of identity, and if you use one of our brands as a domain name, you’re misleading users into thinking that the site or service belongs to Framasoft. ### When you can use the FRAMASOFT’s trademarks without asking permission But there are many cases where you can use our brands! And we even encourage such uses: - Communicating facts about FRAMASOFT and it’s projects without suggesting sponsorship or endorsement. - Advertising your product or service relating to FRAMASOFT and it’s projects in a way that is not misleading. - Describing that your software is based on a FRAMASOFT’s Software code or it is compatible with your product. - Displaying FRAMASOFT’s trademarks on your own website solely as a hyperlink to a FRAMASOFT’s website. And of course, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts or need specific permission. Our contact details are at the end of this statement. ### Finally, here are a few tips on how to use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks properly - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks exact as shown. Any scaling must retain the original proportions of the logo (see [our branding style guide](https://framasoft.org/graphics/)) - Use FRAMASOFT’s trademarks only as an adjective, never as a noun or verb. Example: Framasoft’s Peertube app. - Wherever appropriate, include a trademark attribution notice. It’s very simple, like this: “<Framasoft’s product> is a registered trademark of the European Union.” - Be careful not to suggest that any of our brands are affiliated with you or any of your products or services. Don’t forget that Framasoft is an independent organization. - Sometimes our brands are usurped or used for slogans or advertising purposes, suggesting that we endorse an action or service. We refer to the code of conduct: don’t be an asshole… ### Contact For any queries with respect to these guidelines, please send an email to https://contact.framasoft.org.
