+ </header>
+ <div class="entry-content">
+
+ <h2>Introduction</h2>
+ <p>This policy is derived from the
+ <a href="https://www.debian.org/trademark">Debian Trademark Policy</a>,
+ with thanks.</p>
+
+ <p>OpenSSL is committed to protect and ensure consistent usage
+ of its trademark, logos, and styles and also make it easier for
+ every <em>bonafide</em> user to use. As a part of this process,
+ the OpenSSL trademark is a registered United States trademark
+ of the OpenSSL Software Foundation. For registration outside the
+ United States, we have filed a <a
+ href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrid_system">Madrid Protocol</a>
+ application to extend the protection in the European Union,
+ China and Japan.</p>
+
+ <h2>Trademark Policy</h2>
+
+ <p>This policy encompasses all marks, in word and logo form,
+ collectively referred to as <q>OpenSSL trademarks.</q></p>
+
+ <p>The objective of this trademark policy is:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>to encourage widespread use and adoption of the OpenSSL
+ trademarks,</li>
+ <li>to clarify proper usage of OpenSSL trademarks by third
+ parties,</li>
+ <li>to prevent misuse of OpenSSL trademarks that can confuse
+ or mislead users
+ with respect to OpenSSL or its affiliates.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>Please note that it is not the goal of this policy to limit
+ commercial activity around OpenSSL. We encourage businesses
+ to work on OpenSSL while being compliant with this policy.</p>
+
+ <p>Following are the guidelines for the proper use of OpenSSL
+ trademarks by publishers and other third parties. Any use of or
+ reference to OpenSSL trademarks that is inconsistent with these
+ guidelines, or other unauthorized use of or reference to OpenSSL
+ trademarks, or use of marks that are confusingly similar to
+ OpenSSL trademarks, is prohibited and may violate OpenSSL
+ trademark rights.</p>
+
+ <p>Any use of OpenSSL trademarks in a misleading and false manner
+ or in a manner that disparages OpenSSL, such as untruthful
+ advertising, is always prohibited.</p>
+
+ <h3>When You Can Use the OpenSSL Trademarks Without Asking Permission</h3>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>You can use OpenSSL trademarks to make true factual
+ statements about OpenSSL or communicate compatibility with your
+ product truthfully.</li>
+ <li>Your intended use qualifies as <q>nominative fair use</q> of
+ the OpenSSL trademarks, i.e., merely identifying that you are
+ talking about OpenSSL in a text, without suggesting sponsorship
+ or endorsement.</li>
+ <li>You can use OpenSSL trademarks to describe or advertise your
+ services or products relating to OpenSSL in a way that is not
+ misleading.</li>
+ <li>You can use OpenSSL trademarks to describe OpenSSL in
+ articles, titles or blog posts.</li>
+ <li>You can make t-shirts, desktop wallpapers, caps, or other
+ merchandise with OpenSSL trademarks for
+ <em>non-commercial usage</em>.</li>
+ <li>You can also make merchandise with OpenSSL trademarks for
+ <em>commercial usage</em>. In case of commercial usage, we
+ recommend that you truthfully advertise to customers which part
+ of the selling price, if any, will be donated to the OpenSSL
+ project.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <h3>When You Can NEVER Use the OpenSSL Trademarks Without Asking Permission</h3>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>You cannot use OpenSSL trademarks in any way that suggests
+ an affiliation with or endorsement by the OpenSSL project or
+ community, if the same is not true.</li>

+ <li>You cannot use a name that is confusingly similar to OpenSSL
+ trademarks.</li>
+ <li>You cannot use OpenSSL trademarks in a domain name, with or
+ without commercial intent.</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <h3>How to Use the OpenSSL Trademarks</h3>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Use the OpenSSL trademarks in a manner that makes it clear
+ that your project is related to the OpenSSL project, but that it
+ is not part of OpenSSL, produced by the OpenSSL project, or
+ endorsed by the OpenSSL project.</li>
+ <li>Acknowledge OpenSSL Software Foundation's ownership of the
+ OpenSSL trademark prominently. For example:<br/><br/>
+ <p>[TRADEMARK] is a (<q>registered,</q> if applicable) trademark
+ owned by the OpenSSL Software Foundation.</p></li>
+ <li>Include a disclaimer of sponsorship, affiliation, or
+ endorsement by OpenSSL on your website and on all related
+ printed materials. For example:<br/><br/>
+ <p>X PROJECT is not affiliated with OpenSSL. OpenSSL is a
+ registered trademark owned by OpenSSL Software
+ Foundation.</p></li>
+ <li>Distinguish the OpenSSL trademarks from the surrounding
+ words by italicizing, bolding or underlining it.</li>
+ <li>Use the OpenSSL trademarks in their exact form, neither
+ abbreviated or hyphenated, nor combined with any other word or
+ words.</li>
