| And Google makes you call it something other than Go, like Firefox did to linux packagers: > The Go trademark and the Go Logo ( ) – collectively, the “Go Trademarks” – are trademarks of Google and are treated separately from the copyright license grants contained in the BSD-licensed Go repositories, as described below. > Substantially unmodified distributions¶ > Substantially unmodified distributions may use the Go Trademarks if the derivative work complies with the terms of the Go programming language’s open source license and is made in a good faith attempt to replicate the quality and substance of the original project. > Examples of modifications that would be considered substantially unmodified include language translation and localization, bug and security patches, and necessary interoperability/compatibility modifications. > The Go Trademarks may be used in connection with such substantially unmodified distributions following the “Naming Conventions for Authorized Uses”. > Substantially modified distributions may include explicit changes to functionality, interfaces, or features. They can modify these trademark terms later too with a "backwards incompatible" change: > Guideline Version¶ > These Trademark Guidelines are version 1.0 and may be followed by subsequent versions. These Guidelines may be edited for clarity; the major version will be increased when changes introduce new requirements, define new criteria, or otherwise present a backwards incompatible change. |
