Jean-Yves, If you REALLY intend to prohibit others from applying AZ's patch and redistributing it under the name "Mail Notification" in releases _after_ 5.4, you need to change certain things.
Using the sources downloaded here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/mailnotify/mail- notification-5.4.tar.bz2 MN 5.4 is released as found in it's online help, section 9.3, Licensing: "This program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public license as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. A copy of this license can be found at this link, or in the file COPYING included with the source code of this program." This is also what I have seen in the sources that I checked (I did not go through all of the files) I've done this in the downloaded source tree: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mail-notification-5.4$ grep -nRi "trademark" * COPYING:379: e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some COPYING:380: trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or help/C/documentation-license.xml:21: products and services are claimed as trademarks. Where those help/C/documentation-license.xml:24: trademarks, then the names are in capital letters or initial jbsrc/lib/COPYING:379: e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some jbsrc/lib/COPYING:380: trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mail-notification-5.4$ I only find the lines of section 7 of GPLv3, but have not found, as per the same section: "If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms." I have not found, but I may well have missed it, the additional terms related to your potential trademark. Is MN v 5.4 GPLv3 "as published by the FSF" or is it governed by (belgian ?) trademark law ? If the later, please remove references to GPLv3 from the sources, documentation, and your website for your future releases. A link to the trademark registration(s) would also be appreciated. -- IMAP/POP3+SSL/TLS are disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
