<br><div class="gmail_quote">On 11 April 2018 at 15:11, Paolo Cavallini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cavallini@faunalia.it" target="_blank">cavallini@faunalia.it</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I re-read and re-thought to our trademark page<br>
<a href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/trademark/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/<wbr>getinvolved/governance/<wbr>trademark/index.html</a><br>
and my conclusions are that we already covered contentious issues.<br>
I suggest, as we mostly agree during the latest PSC meeting, to remove<br>
the last entry of the FAQ:<br>
---<br>
Q: Domain Name Registration Consent: My organization has applied to<br>
register an internet domain name which includes the element QGIS. If we<br>
enter into a permission, will QGIS consent to our registration?<br>
<br>
A: QGIS and the QGIS permission have no control over the registration of<br>
domain names, which are distinct from trademarks (see related FAQs<br>
above). QGIS does not oppose the registration of domain names. You do<br>
not need a permission to use a domain name which includes QGIS, unless<br>
you use your QGIS domain name as a trademark.<br>
---<br>
As a consequence, I would ask to both cases under scrutiny (qgis.online<br>
and <a href="http://qgis.pro" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">qgis.pro</a>) to refrain from using qgis as a part of their domain name,<br>
and write clearly in their page that the project does not have a direct<br>
affiliation with QGIS project.<br>
On the other hand, I would invite both to join the community.<br>
<br>
How does it sound?<br>
<br>
All the best.<br>
