Hi :) I think the new wording is much clearer. Bullet-points definitely helped imo. The wording seems about as smooth and straight forward as it is likely to get without changing the meanings. It's a LOT less turgid than many simialr things i have read but seems to deal with the legal and Branding issues afaik.
Has the marketing or Branding team (or reps here) approved of either this version or the original? Since both have very much the same meanings i think approval of either would be good enough.

My proposed change follows: old version: == Proper Form: TDF marks should be used in their exact form, neither abbreviated nor combined with any other word or words. TDF has a set of acceptable logos for general use. If you are not sure where they are please inquire on our lists. Only the logos that bear the exact mention of the software name with the mention “The Document Foundation” are reserved for the sole and official use of TDF as an entity, for instance on splash screens from software builds compiled by the Document Foundation or DVD labels officially stemming from the Document Foundation. You may not use this set of logos but only the logos bearing the software name without the Document Foundation's mention. == new version: == Proper Form: TDF marks should be used in their exact form, neither abbreviated nor combined with any other word or words. TDF has a set of acceptable logos for general use. If you are not sure where they are please inquire on our lists. The logos that bear the exact mention of the software name with the mention "The Document Foundation" are reserved for two purposes: * the sole and official use of TDF as an entity, for instance on splash screens from software builds compiled by the Document Foundation or on official materials from the legal entity itself * the use within the Projects of the Community - like documentation, marketing or website - when the respective work is prepared and coordinated openly and transparently, on the appropriate communication channels, following the Foundation's and Community's principles /Example: A publisher working on a documentation with a few selected community members is not eligible for use of logos with the mention "The Document Foundation", whereas the documentation team itself may freely use it for any project that is coordinated on its mailing lists. You may not use this set of logos for other than the above purposes, but only the logos bearing the software name without the Document Foundation's mention. == Does this make things clear. Shall we embed it, or can we find an easier wording?
