MOODLE TRADEMARKS POLICY
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
The word "Moodle" is trademarked in many countries around the world. The word
|
||
was originally coined as an acronym: Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning
|
||
Environment. The trademark is owned by Martin Dougiamas, Founder and Director
|
||
of Moodle.
|
||
|
||
The law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of
|
||
confusingly similar names by third parties. Through this policy we’d like to
|
||
make it clear how Moodle-related projects, organisations, and people can use
|
||
the Moodle trademark. We’d also like to be clear about how use of the word is
|
||
restricted when used to promote commercial Moodle services. We do this to
|
||
protect the very business model that allows us to continue developing Moodle
|
||
for you.
|
||
|
||
Allowed uses
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
The following uses don’t require any permission at all:
|
||
|
||
* Referring to the software or the Moodle project.
|
||
* Describing your own Moodle implementation (including within corporate
|
||
settings).
|
||
* Describing a Moodle-based community hub.
|
||
* Describing some software you’ve made that integrates with Moodle
|
||
(eg a Moodle integration feature on another system).
|
||
|
||
Restricted uses
|
||
---------------
|
||
|
||
The following uses are generally prohibited without explicit and direct
|
||
permission being granted to you by Moodle Pty Ltd. We do this to protect the
|
||
Moodle project from software and sites which could confuse people. Please
|
||
contact us to ask for permission in writing.
|
||
|
||
* You can’t use "Moodle" in the name of your software (including Mobile apps)
|
||
* You can’t use "Moodle" in your company name
|
||
* You can’t use "Moodle" in your domain name
|
||
* You can’t use "Moodle" in advertising-related keywords (such as Adsense)
|
||
* You can’t use "Moodle" to describe services around Moodle (such as hosting,
|
||
training, support, consulting, course creation services, theme development,
|
||
customisation, installation, integration and certification). This applies
|
||
even if you do not charge for the services. Note that usually only Moodle
|
||
Partners have this permission.
|
||
