[steering-discuss] trademark use request

Hi :slight_smile:
I like the way "thereof" makes it sound more legally binding somehow. The line
does not seem to state that people "must" or even "should" only use branding as
stated in the trademark policy. I am probably missing something here because i
have no idea about the law in this area.

Hi Simon,

better still :

"Use thereof is explained in our trademark policy."

I agree that's more precise English. I am a little concerned it's uncommon usage that those with English as a second language might consider difficult, and thus I prefer your earlier suggestion:

"Usage is explained in our trademark policy."

No big issue though, just a preference. I'd welcome your comment.

Not wishing to get into a battle on semantics, my personal preference is
still the second suggestion, but I would agree with you that non-native
English speakers might find the less archaic wording of my first
suggestion easier to grasp from the outset. Ultimately, choose whatever
everyone feels comfortable with.

Hello,

thanks for all your feedback! So, the latest version of this would be

"LibreOffice" and "The Document Foundation" are registered trademarks of
their corresponding registered owners or are in actual use as trademarks
in one or more countries. Their respective logos and icons are also
subject to international copyright laws. Use thereof is explained in our
trademark policy.

Is this something legally agreeable and something we all can live with?

If I hear no objections, I will modify the site footers accordingly in
the next days.
