Onebox trademark policy

The Onebox source code is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. That license covers copyright and patents. It does not grant rights to the Onebox name, logo, or related marks — Apache-2.0 section 6 says so explicitly. This document states what LabStack LLC permits and does not permit, so that everyone knows where the line is.

What this covers

  • The name "Onebox" and the ob command name.
  • The Onebox logo and wordmark.
  • The domain onebox.run.
  • The release artifact and package names — onebox_* archives, .deb and .rpm packages, the Homebrew cask in labstack/homebrew-tap, and the Scoop manifest in labstack/scoop-bucket.

ob is two letters and descriptive of the command it invokes. Naming it here records how it is used in this project; it is not a claim to those letters in general.

You do not need permission to

  • Say truthfully that your project, product, or service works with, integrates with, is built on, or is compatible with Onebox.
  • Redistribute unmodified Onebox releases under the name Onebox.
  • Write about Onebox — articles, talks, tutorials, comparisons, reviews, including critical ones.
  • Use the name in a user group, meetup, conference talk title, or community channel that is clearly not operated by LabStack.
  • Fork the source and build on it, as Apache-2.0 permits, provided the result is not distributed under the Onebox name.

Nothing in this policy restricts any right Apache-2.0 grants you over the code.

You need written permission to

  • Distribute a modified version of Onebox under the name Onebox.
  • Offer a hosted or managed service named Onebox, or named in a way that leads a reasonable person to think LabStack operates it.
  • Use Onebox, or a confusingly similar term, in your company name, product name, domain name, app-store listing, or social account handle.
  • Use the Onebox logo or wordmark as your own branding, or in a modified form.
  • Sell merchandise bearing the marks.

Never permitted

  • Implying sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or partnership with LabStack where none exists.
  • Using the marks in a way that suggests your modified build is the official Onebox distribution.
  • Registering the marks, or confusingly similar marks, as trademarks or domain names.

When in doubt

The test is whether an ordinary reader would be misled about who made or who operates the thing. Descriptive, truthful references are fine. Branding is not.

Requests

Ask LabStack LLC in writing. Reasonable requests are usually granted, and LabStack may revoke permission if a use becomes misleading.

This policy may change. The current version is the one in this repository.
