|
|
<p class="justify">“TAO Trademarks” hereinafter refers to both the TAO
|
|
trademarks (TAO®, TAO ™) and Generis4 trademarks (Generis® and Generis ™).</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">This document outlines the policy regarding the use of the
|
|
TAO trademarks as defined by their respective right holders, namely the
|
|
Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor and the University of Luxembourg.
|
|
Any use that does not comply with this trademark policy or does not have
|
|
prior written authorization from their right holders is prohibited.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">This policy attempts to balance two competing interests:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="justify">We need to ensure that the TAO
|
|
trademarks remain reliable indicators of quality, security, and
|
|
confidence for the TAO platform.</p>
|
|
<li><p class="justify">We also need to permit community
|
|
members and software distributors to diffuse and promote the TAO
|
|
platform and all related products.</p>
|
|
<li><p class="justify">We also need to allow anyone to
|
|
accurately describe his or her affiliation with the TAO project.</p>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="justify">This Trademark Policy
|
|
is strongly inspired by the Mozilla Trademark Policy. Unless
|
|
otherwise indicated, the text of this TAO Trademark Policy is

|
|
TAO trademark in printed materials</b></font></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">Although many uses of
|
|
the TAO trademarks are governed by more specific rules, which appear
|
|
below, the following basic guidelines apply to almost any use of the
|
|
TAO trademarks in printed materials, including marketing, articles
|
|
and other publicity-related materials, such as websites:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="justify">Proper Form - TAO trademarks
|
|
should be used in their exact form -- neither abbreviated nor
|
|
combined with any other word or words;</p>
|
|
<li><p class="justify">Notice - The following notice
|
|
should appear somewhere nearby (at least on the same page or on the
|
|
credits page) the first use of a TAO trademark:</p>

TAO® is a joint initiative of the CRP Henri Tudor and the University

<p class="justify">Comply with visual

<p class="justify"><font style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold">Use of TAO Trademarks for Software
|
|
Distributions</font></p>
|
|
<p class="justify"><i><b>Unaltered
|
|
Binaries</b></i></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">You may distribute
|
|
unchanged official binaries (i.e., the installer file available for
|
|
download for each platform) downloaded from the official TAO website
|
|
(www.tao.lu) to anyone in any way, subject to governing law, without
|
|
receiving any further permission from us.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">However, you must not
|
|
remove or change any part of the official binary, including the TAO
|
|
Trademarks. On your website or in other materials, you may truthfully
|
|
state that the software you are providing is an unmodified version of
|
|
the TAO platform, keeping in mind the overall guidelines for the use
|
|
of TAO Trademarks in printed materials, detailed above. We suggest
|
|
that, if you choose to provide visitors to your website the
|
|
opportunity to download TAO product, you do so by means of a link to
|
|
our site, to help ensure reliable downloads. (See the section on
|
|
Linking, below.)</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">If you choose to
|
|
distribute the TAO platform binaries yourself, you should make the
|
|
latest stable version available (of course, you probably want to do
|
|
so as well). So that users get the latest code and security releases,
|
|
we encourage you to always distribute the most current official
|
|
release.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">If you are using the
|
|
TAO trademark(s) for the unaltered binaries you are distributing, you
|
|
may not charge for that product. By not charging, we mean the TAO
|
|
product must be without cost and its distribution (whether by
|
|
download or other media) may not be subject to a fee, or tied to
|
|
subscribing to or purchasing a service, or the collection of personal
|
|
information. If you want to sell the product, you may do so, but you
|
|
must call that product by another name—one unrelated to TAO or any
|
|
of the TAO Trademarks (see the sections on "Modifications"
|
|
and "Related Software" below). Remember that we do not want
|
|
the public to be confused.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify"><i><b>Modifications</b></i></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">As open-source
|
|
software, TAO may be freely modified to integrate new functionalities
|
|
or to implement any functional and non-functional requirement you may
|
|
have. While the GPL license allows to redistribute your modified
|
|
version under conditions stated in the GPL license, you may not
|
|
redistribute it under any of the TAO trademark, or using a name or
|
|
logo that contains part or complete TAO trademark names, or that may
|
|
confuse the user into believing he is using an official TAO product.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">Any modified version of
|
|
TAO products, including adding to, modifying in any way, or deleting
|
|
content from the files included with an installer, file location
|
|
changes, added code, modification of any source files including
|
|
additions and deletions, etc..., cannot be identified, advertised, or
|
|
redistributed using the TAO trademarks without our written
|
|
permission.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">If you are confident
|
|
that your work might be of high value and useful for the TAO
|
|
community and believe it worth being distributed under the TAO brand,
|
|
you may consider submitting your code and related documentation to
|
|
the TAO team through the forge for potential further integration into
|
|
the public distribution on the official web site, either with the
|
|
core distribution, or as a contributed extension. We also strongly
|
|
encourage to redistribute translated and localized versions through
|
|
the official web site, since redistribution from another source of a
|
|
new localized version of TAO is not authorized under the TAO
|
|
trademark without our prior permission.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify"><i><b>Related Software</b></i></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">TAO platform is
|
|
designed to be extended, and we recognize that community members
|
|
writing extensions need some way to identify the TAO product to which
|
|
their extensions pertain. Our main concern about extensions is that
|
|
consumers not be confused as to whether they are official (meaning
|
|
approved by the TAO project) or not. To address that concern, we
|
|
request that extension names not include, in whole or in part, the
|
|
word "TAO", or "Generis4" in a way that suggests
|
|
a connection between TAO and the extension.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify"><font style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold">Linking</font></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">We invite you to link
|
|
to TAO's official website (www.tao.lu) for the purpose of allowing
|
|
your visitors to download the TAO platform, by using links and/or the
|
|
banners we might provide, subject to the restrictions below.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify"><font style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold">Services
|
|
Related to the TAO platform</font></p>
|
|
<p class="justify">If you offer services
|
|
related to the TAO platform, you may use TAO's word trademarks in
|
|
describing and advertising your services relating to a TAO product,
|
|
so long as you don't violate these overall guidelines for the use of
|
|
TAO trademarks or do anything that might mislead customers into
|
|
thinking that either your website, service, or product is an official
|
|
TAO website, service, or product, or that TAO has any direct
|
|
relationship with your organization.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">For example, you may
|
|
write on your website "Computer based assessment customization
|
|
services for TAO available here." Though you may not write "TAO
|
|
computer based assessment customization services sold here," or
|
|
"custom TAO computer based assessment available here,"
|
|
since the first suggests that TAO is related to your business, and
|
|
the second is confusing as to whom -- you or TAO -- performed the
|
|
customization. In addition, your website may not copy the look and
|
|
feel of the TAO website. Again, we do not want the visitor to your
|
|
website to be confused with whom she/he is dealing.</p>
|
|
<p class="justify">If you are offering
|
|
services for the TAO platform (for example, support), you may not tie
|
|
the download of the TAO product with the purchase of your service.
|
|
The download of the TAO product using the TAO trademark may not be
|
|
connected in any way to the purchase of your service. The purchase,
|
|
download, or acquisition of your services must be a completely
|
|
separate transaction from the download of the TAO product. You must
|
|
provide a prominent statement that (i) the TAO platform is available
|
|
for free and link directly to our site; (ii) the purchase, download,
|
|
or acquisition of your service is separate from the download of the
|
|
TAO product; and (iii) your service is not affiliated with TAO.</p>
