+1 on all of Ted's answers, I feel the same.

Hey folks,
So we've almost got a trademark policy. To finish it, we need an answer to a few questions:
Should it say "Free and Open Source Software" or just "Open Source" ? Do we want to allow the name in other products? For instance if there was an "Inkscape Gradient Snagger" would that be okay as another product? Do we want to restrict use of the logo to unmodified versions? This would be things like showing half of it, or perhaps different gradients to match a particular style. Do we want to allow merchandise with the Inkscape logo on it? T-shirts, stickers, etc.Now my answers :-)
I think "Free and Open Source" is best. I hate the debate, but it is what we're doing. I think that using the name in other products is fine as long as they don't cause confusion, which is covered explicitly in other sections, so I'm cool with it. I like the idea of people being creative with our logo, so I'm for not having any restrictions there. I'm okay with other people making Inkscape merchandise. I think we should encourage them to give back, but not have any requirement to do so.Any other opinions?
Agreed with Ted on #1 and #4.
Don't really have an opinion on #2 and #3; what Ted proposed sounds fine.
So, +1 for Ted's proposal.
