Documentation: restriction on usage of logo's and brand identity #107

Closed Robbert closed 5 months ago

Robbert commented 3 years ago

Organisations that contribute to NL Design System by publicly sharing their own design system as open source, would benefit from including a notice that while the source code for components is open source, the brand identity and logo are proprietary assets for their organisation only.

Eventually we would like to be able to have an open source "theme" for Rijkshuisstijl (for example) that is easily available for organisations that are meant to use the Rijkshuisstijl, but it is made very clear that applying Rijkshuisstijl would be a trademark infringmeent.

For organisations that did not register their logo et cetera as trademark, we would like to have similar protections as granted by "auteursrecht" etc.

I made a first attempt with the text in this pull request for Gemeente Utrecht: https://github.com/nl-design-system/utrecht/pull/9

Rijkshuisstijl has a page dedicated to this: Auteursrecht rijkshuisstijl.
