It sounds like a powergrab to me, but there's some nuance to it. Look at it this way: > Your materials for the event must not imply that the event is officially endorsed or run by the Rust Project or Rust Foundation unless you have written permission. You can't imply an event is official without permission. Very reasonable. Not a powergrab. This is the same sort of thing that Firefox does to prevent modified versions of Firefox from being called Firefox. > For commercial events (including sponsored ones), please check in with us. But then there's this. This implies that there are extra rules for an event that is "commercial" even if it does not try to pretend to be an official event; merely using the trademark and being a commercial event would compel you to adhere to some other set of rules, which they didn't even write in the policy. On its face, that doesn't sound unreasonable, but I imagine the net cast over what counts as "commercial events" probably makes very few reasonable events possible that wouldn't fall under this umbrella. It's an interesting choice in my opinion.
