Debian and Mozilla - a study in trademarksDebian and Mozilla - a study in trademarksPosted Jan 10, 2005 19:44 UTC (Mon) by frazier (guest, #3060)Parent article: Debian and Mozilla - a study in trademarks
I delt with similar isssues when authoring the UserLinux Mark Protection Policy:
Mozilla has completely the right idea with their mark protection. As the user base becomes less technical, they want and expect a brand to certify quality more since they are putting more trust in a brand.
Strong marks are a good thing. They are very common for organiztions outside of open source software (Red Cross, Better Business Bureau, Easter Seals). BBB marks would have no weight if they were loosely available, fragmented, and easily confused like Debian's open use and official marks.
