> I added the trademark to the main page using a front matter variable in
5d11346. Does this work?
This looks great to me. I appreciate you being flexible.
> Is this even required?
tl;dr Given my current understanding, yes.
I think this is something that @billierinaldi and I had recently added to
the website specifically to meet the branding requirements that the ASF sets
forward. See http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html#attributions:
> All project or product homepages must feature a prominent trademark
attribution of all applicable Apache trademarks. Other project pages should
feature attributions of any marks displayed thereon.
Policy aside, I believe reminding visitors of the website that all of these
names (*full* names, even) are trademarks of the ASF and deserve proper
attribution is a worthwhile goal. It really doesn't strike me as intrusive or
distracting.
