QuantDinger Trademarks & Branding Policy

This document governs the use of QuantDinger trademarks and brand assets (including the name, logo, and visual identity).
It is separate from the code license. The code in this repository is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (see LICENSE).

Note: This policy is provided for clarity and is not legal advice.


1) What is covered

The following are considered QuantDinger brand assets:

  • The QuantDinger name and word marks
  • The QuantDinger logo, icon, and related images
  • Project branding used in the UI/website/marketing materials
  • Any confusingly similar marks or visual identity that may imply association

2) Apache 2.0 vs. trademarks (important)

Apache License 2.0 governs the code and allows you to fork, modify, and redistribute the code under its terms.
However, Apache 2.0 does not grant trademark rights. Trademarks are governed by this policy.

You must still comply with Apache 2.0 requirements (e.g., preserving license/copyright notices, and NOTICE if present).


3) Permitted uses (generally allowed)

You may:

  • Accurately refer to the project as “QuantDinger” when discussing the unmodified project (e.g., tutorials, reviews, bug reports).
  • Use the name “QuantDinger” to link to this repository or the official community channels.
  • Use the logo/name for non-commercial editorial references (e.g., blog posts) as long as it does not imply endorsement.

4) Prohibited uses (not allowed without permission)

You may not, without written permission:

  • Use QuantDinger trademarks/branding in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or official status when it is not true.
  • Redistribute a modified version of the software while keeping QuantDinger branding in a way that could confuse users about the origin.
  • Use QuantDinger branding to market a competing product/service as “official”, “certified”, or “approved” by QuantDinger.
  • Register or use confusingly similar names/domains/social accounts that may mislead users.

If you fork and distribute a modified version:

  • Do not use “QuantDinger” as the primary product name.
  • Remove/replace QuantDinger logos and other brand identifiers in the UI and distribution materials, unless you have written permission.
  • Keep required Apache 2.0 notices (LICENSE/NOTICE) and do not misrepresent authorship.

If you distribute an unmodified build, you may keep QuantDinger branding, but you must not imply that your organization is the official owner unless authorized.


6) Commercial license, permission & sponsorship

If you need any of the following, please contact us for a commercial license / written permission:

  • Keeping QuantDinger branding in a redistributed modified version
  • Modifying/removing copyright display as agreed
  • White-labeling / OEM / enterprise deployments

Commercial licensing can include:

  • Operations support: deployment, upgrades, incident support, maintenance guidance
  • Consulting services: architecture review, performance tuning, strategy workflow consulting
  • Sponsorship: become a sponsor and we can display your logo/ad (README/website/in-app placement as agreed)
