Getting Approval

Posted by Seamaiden on Mon, 07/16/2007 - 01:05Licensing Issues

Greetings

In June, I took over The Extensions Mirror (TEM). It is now called Add-ons Mirror (AMI) and has a different domain.

There have been many changes, and many more are on the way. One of them is getting approval from the proper parties for their logos. Ken Saunders referred me to the the Mozilla Trademark Policy, and I believe everything is in compliance on the main homepage, the forum, the portal, and the wiki.

AMI MAIN HOMEPAGE
http://addonsmirror.net

The disclaimer is at the bottom. 

AMI FORUM / PORTAL
http://forum.addonsmirror.net

On the portal, some blocks (widgets) include links to my disclaimers. The Navigation block (top left) contains a link to the Rules & Disclaimers forum area. They contain the required information for logos, trademarks, and appropriate credits.

General Disclaimer

Banners & Buttons Disclaimer

At the top of the forum index is another link to the Rules & Disclaimers area. Anyone who visits should easily be able to find this important information.

There is also a wiki, but I am not sure whether or not the wiki is going to work out because of security issues. The Disclaimer link in there has the appropriate information.

AMI WIKI
http://wiki.addonsmirror.net

If you have any suggestions, for better compliance with the Mozilla logo/trademark policies, please respond to this. Thank you for your consideration.

Making money or spreading Firefox?

Posted by Up North on Mon, 01/29/2007 - 06:11Licensing Issues

Hi dear sfx-ers

 what do you think of this get-browsers-dot-com?

- Are they just making money with this?
- Are they spreading Firefox?
- Is it even allowed?

I know this is not a very project driven post, but if this is a Spreading Firefox approach why do they not link from Mozilla.com?

Can i use Firefox logo for a t-shirt?

Posted by AlexMark on Mon, 01/22/2007 - 16:07Licensing Issues

Hi all, i would like to know whether i could use the Firefox logo for creating a t-shirt for my personal use.

 

The t-shirt maker company (spreadshirt.net) requests an explicit and written authorization to create the t-shirt to avoid legal problems and/or endorsements.

 

 What about please?

A letter of request.

Posted by neoxeekhrobe on Wed, 11/01/2006 - 05:30Licensing Issues

In the name of Allah,

Asalaam O Alaikum,

Dear Firefox team,

I am an open source advocate. I am very much in love with open

source concept. Open source gives a meaning to the word

freedom what sleep is to the word rest.

I strongly believe that quality costs money and I know for

sure that almost every one wants to pay for quality. But if

quality can be given cheap, I would prefer that, since it will

only make an average person's life easier.

I have been using firefox for the past three years and I love

it. I want it to be on every desktop. In every school and on

every tablet. I want people to know that its possible to do a

good deed without being selfish. That its possible to give

something for free and still make some money.

That good and love can achieve certain big things in life.

And that, little is more.

I don't agree but I do respect your right of copyrighting your

logo.

I believe that copyrighting the name 'Firefox' is enough to

make open source a household name and something that can be

assciated with quality.

Its your property and you can do what ever you want with it.

And I also see the act of copyrighting YOUR logo as something

very, very and imensely very small compared to what firefox is

already doing for open source.

And here I would like to thank you and congratulate you for

your efforts and your love for open source.

As a advocate of all those things that would make an average

man's life easier, with a lot of respect and love, I would

like to make a request.

Please try to help the Debian community. They need you. We

need you. The world needs Open source and freedom. Among this

community there are very nice and faithful followers of open

source and they can contribute alot to firefox's fame by

improving it and by distributing it.

I am not a Debian user but I am like them. A linux user. Linux

that started the revolution we now know as Open Source. It

needs you.

I know now that its not possible for you to free your logo. I

would prefer that but its your decision and I respect that.

So I think that it would be appropiate to create another logo

that is under copyleft. A logo that is very slightly different

from the original logo. I want every one to use Firefox and

love its fox around the gloge logo.

Once again thanks.

Sincerely yours,
A firefox user.


Need A Reason? Here's 5 To Kill The Firefox Fork

 Although the Mozilla Foundation may be a bit overzealous at times when
it comes to protecting it's copyrights, the truth is that the GNU's
haste for something to hold on to has the potential to kill one of
FLOSS's biggest successes: Firefox. Here are 5 reasons to creep up
behind the newly born 'rat' and throttle it.

 By the way, Brian McKenna has a fair overview of 5 reasons to _support_ it here: http://brianmckenna.org/blog/linux/5-reasons-to-support-iceweasel/
