==Logo==

: In paragraph 1, "(our trademark registration application for the logo is still pending)", is a separate statement, right? Sugar Labs is already registered, but the logos (colors and ~~typface~~) are pending registration, no? If so, this would be more clear as a separate sentence in the introduction, as it is currently too closely associated with the Sugar Labs name.

== Sugar on a Stick Guidelines ==

I am herewith proposing the following changes to the section 5a. This has been derived from Fedora's [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines trademark guidelines] and might need to be adjusted to cover more cases, as listed in those guidelines. By referring to Sugar on a Stick, the following draft means the project [[Sugar_on_a_Stick| located]] and [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/soas hosted] here.

* You '''may''' use the term ''Sugar on a Stick'' whenever referring to the official Sugar on a Stick product and its releases, as well as when distributing ''unmodified'' copies of it.

** However, this usage '''must not''' imply any endorsement by Sugar Labs or the Sugar on a Stick project, unless this is case and an appropriate agreement has been reached.

* You '''may''' modify Sugar on a Stick and create ''remixes'' of it.

** However, when distributing or selling this modified version, you '''must not''' call it Sugar on a Stick.

** When not exposing the resulting product to the public, you '''may''' still call it Sugar on a Stick, though. A deployment might adjust Sugar on a Stick for its needs and still say it deployed Sugar on a Stick, as long as the modified version is not distributed publicly.

== substantially unmodified ==

We discuss examples of "substantially unmodified" in [[Sugar Labs/Governance/Trademark|Section 2]] of the policy: "including but not limited to: the enabling or disabling of certain features by default, changes required for compatibility with a particular operating system distribution, or the inclusion of bug-fix patches." But it would be instructive to give some examples of changes that would not qualify as substantially unmodified: including but not limited to adding of non-free drivers. (We need to build consensus around this issue.) --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 20:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

== How to make modifications ==

There is a discussion [[Features/SoaS_customization|here]] about making a systemic process for most trivial modifications. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 20:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

==Sugar Trademark Policy==

Final text moved to [[Trademark]] during the May 6/7, 2010 SLOBs approval.
