First draft of Dask trademark policy based on discussion in #4 #18

Open seibert opened 1 year ago

seibert commented 1 year ago

This is a summary of trademark policy that emerged in discussion in issue #4. The text assumes that ownership of the Dask trademark has been transferred to NumFOCUS, which is in progress.

The text is currently fairly minimal to only capture the specific nuance of how the Dask community wants its trademark to be used. Both the PSF Trademark Users Guide and the NumFOCUS Trademark Guidelines have a lot more generic boilerplate about how trademarks are used in general which we could add here if we want.

One TBD part of the document is where we want inquires about the trademark policy to go. Should they go to admin@numfocus.org or is there a Dask-specific email where questions should go?

(Marking this PR as draft until that last bit of text is figured out, but please add review comments now if you want.)

What's here is fine with me. Let's use the info@dask.org mailing list (if anyone wants to be added to this, let me know).

Oh, I did have one additional question: The original discussion used the phrase "open source with a liberal license" which I replicated here, but I am not even sure what that means exactly. Does it still capture the intent if we use something more specific like "OSI-approved open source license"?

I don't have a strong opinion here. I suggest exercising your best judgement on what you would like this to be that falls within that vague description.

I have also removed the draft status of this PR. When folks are happy with the pending discussion about company taglines vs. company names, I think this is ready to merge.
