[Board] so how do osgeo trademarks work?

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

I found the Debian trademark policy interesting:
https://www.debian.org/trademark

The policy outlines permitted uses, uses that are not permitted without 
permission, and the process for obtaining permission. This was useful 
when responding to a question from a service provider who wished to use 
the Debian trademark in the name of the service; I could not answer 
their question but I could refer them to that page and contact.

OSGeo Live is an example of a product that uses the OSGeo brand. Are 
distributors of customised ISO images like the upcoming one for INSPIRE 
permitted to use the OSGeo trademark and call their ISO image some 
variation of "OSGeo Live"? Does this require permission? [Not copying 
the Live-demo list at this stage because the purpose of my question is a 
rhetorical one about OSGeo trademark policy.]

Kind regards,
