Brand Guidelines

We’re excited that you want to help promote Webinoly®. No matter how you contribute as an enthusiast, or ecosystem member, your help spreading the word about Webinoly® is extremely valuable. This guide is designed to get you the resources you need and provide simple instructions for the permitted and correct use of the Webinoly® brand assets, whether you are a marketer branding your commercial product or a community ambassador.

The Webinoly® Word Mark and the Webinoly® logos are trademarks. Although the Webinoly® code is freely available to you under the GPL open source software license, your ability to use the Webinoly® name and logo in ways which fall in the domain of trademark law is restricted. It is very important that we protect and enforce our trademark rights to ensure the Webinoly® brand remains a reliable indicator of quality and our community. Therefore, we want to defend against those that seek to intentionally misrepresent their products, services or sponsorships as officially-sanctioned or endorsed by Webinoly.

We have created a family of logos for those who wish to show their support for the Webinoly® project and those who wish to brand their products, projects, sites, blogs and community events with Webinoly® for educational and community building activities, as long as they are not commercial in nature.

Trademark Policy

We will grant permission to use the Webinoly name and logo for projects that meet the following criteria:

• The primary purpose of your project is to promote the spread and improvement of the Webinoly software.
• Your project is non-commercial in nature (it can make money to cover its costs or contribute to non-profit entities, but it cannot be run as a for-profit project or business).
• Your project neither promotes nor is associated with entities that currently fail to comply with the GPL license under which Webinoly is distributed.

If your project meets these criteria, you will be permitted to use the Webinoly name and logo to promote your project in any way you see fit with one exception: Please do not use Webinoly as part of a domain name.
