- stinkytaco 4y agoGPL does not include trademark permissions. I realize from a practical perspective it's difficult for a small organization to enforce trademarks on this scale, but trademarks are a rare area where business and consumer interests align.
- bongobingo1 4y agoProbably adds some credence to trademarking terms like Wireguard, Debian, etc. You could probably hit the store with an unlicensed use of the mark? Of course they could still just put it up as `KeePassSX` or something, but it gives the creators a bit of ground to stand on?
