GitJournal is nice. Just wanted to check with whats your opinion about this - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31580996

Did you get the permission for using "Git" mark?

I didn't know it was required.

I'll shoot them an email and ask, and start thinking of a different name. In the case of Gitea [0], there doesn't seem to have been any response.

Thanks for bringing this up. Though I wonder how well can "Software Freedom Conservancy" claim "GitSomething" is not allowed when there are clearly so so many projects doing it. Eg - Gitolite / Gittea. Trademarks are only so good as long as they are enforced.
