Hi! I just received the FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE Release Notes (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/relnotes.html) and noticed two issues with the "Trademark" preamble:
> IBM, AIX, OS/2, PowerPC, PS/2, S/390, and ThinkPad are trademarks of > International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, other > countries, or both. ThinkPad is not a trademark of IBM. >Many of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish >their products are claimed as trademarks. Where those designations appear in >this document, and the FreeBSD Project was aware of the trademark claim, the >designations have been followed by the “™” or the “®” symbol. I'm not sure if this is actually followed in the rest of the documentation, but ® and ™ are really only supposed to be used by the owner of those trademarks - they are the ones to claim the ownership. AFAIK, the only special handling given to a trademark is to treat it like a proper name, so "I installed Windows" instead of "I installed windows". IANAL but I suggest that you remove pretty much everything of that legal preamble, perhaps only saving "FreeBSD is a registered trademark of the FreeBSD Foundation.". Kind regards, Anders _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
