I'm not sure how I missed this being published officially back in August, but there needs to be a link to the trademark policy in the footer. Either replacing the link to Dries's blog or adding a new link to http://drupal.com/trademark

Related, I am surprised there was never any front page article/mention of this new policy on drupal.org. If other people feel similarly, I can create an issue to promote a article to the front page with the announcement.

Good point, I changed it to point to drupal.com as suggested.

This should be done on the other websites too, moving....

Bit nitpicky, but it should probably be:

<p>
Drupal is a <a href="http://drupal.com/trademark">registered trademark</a> of <a href="http://buytaert.net">Dries Buytaert</a>.
</p>

Just curious - is it worth putting a link to the trademark policy in the core code/docs? or perhaps it warrants a new file added to core?

TRADEMARK-POLICY.txt ?

Also, this still needs to be changed on g.d.o before being marked "fixed"

Fixed on g.d.o -> Goba, tag, you're it.

@rcross - that should be an issue in the core queue.

Done. Where else should it go?

I guess API and Association. drumm can get them both at the same time.

I'd like to propose that the text in #2 be changed to:

<p>
<a href="http://drupal.org">Drupal</a> is a <a href="http://drupal.com/trademark">registered trademark</a> of <a href="http://buytaert.net">Dries Buytaert</a>.
</p>

It adds a link to the drupal.org main site.

This is irrelevant for d.o itself, but very few of the subsites seem to have easily found links back - and it would save a bit of typing if we knew we could simply scroll to the bottom and click.

(Out of a quick survey of api.d.o, groups.d.o and localize.d.o - only api.d.o seems to have an obvious link back)

So, I've tried a few times over the last few days.
I'm getting no response from that link. http://drupal.com/trademark just stalls out.
And drupal.com vs drupal.org? Um I must have missed the history on that one.

I'll re-open this issue, as as far as I can see, the link added to the footer is actually incorrect?

It should be right-- there must be a problem with the site atm. I've used the contact form in the past as recently as a week or so ago.

Link in #15 works (and the trademark text is on the new site), setting to fixed.
