MOODLE TRADEMARKS POLICY
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The word "Moodle" is trademarked in many countries around the world. The word
|
||
|
|
was originally 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
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|

||

Restricted uses
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following uses are generally prohibited without explicit and direct
|
||

|
||
|
|

|
training, support, consulting, course creation services, theme development,
|
||
|

|
||
|
