That's the problem, I have read this and I'm not certain that nominative use is the right interpretation. Really we want community backing and that implies more than nominative use and I want to err on the side of caution so there is no possibility later of misunderstandings etc. Also think these things should be open and transparent. If you feel you need formal permission then tradema...@apache.org is the > contact point as described in the policy. > But presumably if we want broader community support this list is the place to get it? I will talk to the trademark committee but I feel happier if this is as public as possible.
