- dalke 11y agoAnd this is relevant because ... why? There's no trademark or service mark, and as we've already discussed, the GIMP copyright allows this sort of use.
- mynameisvlad 11y agoI think the point was that, even if there were a trademark case, GIMP would have given Sourceforge license to use it when they accepted the ToS.
- dalke 11y agoThe permission clause is "You hereby grant the Company permission to display your logo, trademarks and company name on the Sites and in press and other public releases or filings." This does not appear to include the right to use the trademark in installers, as an installer is neither a site nor press release, etc.
