Description

Right now, the new footer links to Dries'homepage/index. This can be confusing. Better would be to let that link point to the handbookpage about the name Drupal and Druplicon. Someone with more knowledge then me, about he trademarks could add a note on that page about this trademark issue.

or even better point towards http://association.drupal.org/about/copyright and make a webform there with a dropdownlist for contacting the association or dries in person.

I support the proposal in #1.

I prefer #1 with an extension where the trademark is registered (BX, US, INT).

EDIT: An international trademark does not have to be explained. :-)

I've posted some clarifications at: http://buytaert.net/drupal-trademark-policy-forthcoming. I'll follow-up with a trademark policy. Thanks.

I'll follow-up with a trademark policy.

As soon the trademark policy is available, we'll link to it from the footer on drupal.org.

Half a year later the question: Any news?

"rela son now", how the association can use the trademark from dries is nearly okay, how this works from dries / assoc towards the comunity / corporations's is next.
