# 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, and the logo is used **unmodified**.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
- **Modify, adapt, recolor, distort, crop, or create derivative works** of the QuantDinger logo or other brand assets.
|
|
- **Replace/alter/remove** QuantDinger branding in a redistribution **while still using the QuantDinger name/logo/brand** (including in-app UI branding), unless you have a commercial license.
|
|
- 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.
|
|

|
## 5) Forks & redistributions (recommended rules)
|
|
|
|
If you fork and distribute a modified version:
|
|
|
|
- **Do not** use “QuantDinger” as the primary product name.
|
|
- **Do not modify** QuantDinger logos/brand assets. If you do not have a commercial license, you should **remove QuantDinger branding and rebrand** your distribution to avoid confusion.
|
|
- 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.
