<div dir="auto">Sure — Sugar Labs restricted the "freedom" of a Windows PC reseller in the UK to market "Sugar computers". We made the effort to register and defend our trademark in the interest of the project. I recall having alerted OLPC when I spotted a potential infringement of their xo trademark — a nearly identical design used by a European bank. Their counsel decided not to pursue it, as the registered Nice classes were different. This would have changed if the bank had marketed software.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">A good primer on copyright and trademark issues for free/libre software can be found here:</div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/foss-primer.html#x1-660005.4.2">https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/foss-primer.html#x1-660005.4.2</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Sean.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Le jeu. 14 sept. 2017 à 09:02, Sebastian Silva <<a href="mailto:sebastian@fuentelibre.org">sebastian@fuentelibre.org</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 14/09/17 08:00, Sean DALY wrote:<br>

Principles apply universally.<br>
<br>
What you mean is that Software Freedom is based on copyright law, not<br>
trademark law.<br>
<br>
I understand this. However Trademark is often used to limit user's freedoms.<br>
