- Copyright:
-
- Source code created by AbiSource is copyrighted by AbiSource, Inc.,
- and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
- License. On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU
- General Public License can be found in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL.
- You should read this license carefully, as it defines your specific
- rights regarding the use of covered source code, as well as the
- conditions under which those rights are given to you.

- o About Trademark
-
- (See also http://www.abisource.com/information/license/tm_guide.phtml)
-
- Trademark Usage Guidelines
-
- AbiSource Trademarks
-
- AbiSource, AbiWord, AbiCalc, AbiFile, AbiSuite, AbiShow and other
- AbiSource graphics, logos and service names are trademarks of Dom
- Lachowicz. These trademarks may not be used in connection with any
- product or service that is not AbiSource's, in any manner that is
- likely to cause confusion among customers, or in any manner that
- disparages or discredits AbiSource.
-
- Trademarks and the GPL
-
- AbiSource software products, such as AbiWord, are copyrighted works
- released under the terms of the GNU General Public License
- (GPL). Verbatim copies of such works may be made and distributed, by
- anyone, in accordance with the terms of the GPL without violating the
- AbiSource trademarks. The GPL also grants you certain rights to make
- and distribute derivative works based on the source code to AbiSource
- products.
-
- The GPL does not grant you any right to use AbiSource trademarks in
- connection with these derivative works. AbiSource trademarks may not
- be used in connection with any such derivative works unless that usage
- is explicitly and specifically licensed, in writing, from Dom
- Lachowicz.
-
- Personal exemption
-
- As a specific exception, AbiSource freely licenses the use of certain
- of its trademarks solely in combination with the suffix "Personal"
- when applied to derivative works based on an AbiSource GPL
- product. Thus, for example, you are free to use the mark "AbiWord
- Personal" in connection with derivative works that are based on
- "AbiWord". To help maintain this distinction, AbiSource releases the
- sources to its GPL products with Personal-based trademarks.
-
- We are not lawyers
-
- Trademark and copyright issues are, at heart, legal matters. We've
- tried to keep this explanation as simple and common-sense as possible,
- but if you have any questions about when and how to use AbiSource
- trademarks, your best bet is to ask a lawyer. We are not lawyers.
-
- We are not evil
-
- Our goal is very simple. We want to make sure our software stays Open
- Source, no matter what. That's why we chose the GPL. We also want
- everyone to know which products are ours. That's why we are so picky
- about our trademarks.
-
- o "AbiWord" vs. "AbiWord Personal" for Debian?
-
- Maybe this is informative for now.
