Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hi, on an upcoming Framework product, we have a cosmetically customizable section that allows for decorative pieces to be purchased and attached by the end user. Our goal is to enable pieces that have logos of brands that resonate for our audiences. One of the brands we expect to resonate most would be Fedora. Our requested usage is placing the Fedora logo on a tile-like piece that would be attached to the device. These would be both selectable when ordering the device or individually purchasable afterwards.
This sounds great to me. I'm checking with our trademark lawyer about specific requirements, since this is a little different from anything we've done before. But in principle I am strongly +1.
@nrpatel Do you have a mock-up of what this would look like?
This is a very crude mockup, but you can get a sense of size next to an

I'm afraid that attachment didn't work -- with Pagure, you need to do it from the web UI, AFAIK.
Metadata Update from @amoloney:
@nrpatel I know that over seven months have passed here. We never saw the product accessory. Do you still want to move forward here? Otherwise, we will close the ticket and make it public for the record.
Metadata Update from @jflory7:
Apologies for the delayed response. You can see an example of the tile here: https://youtu.be/-lErGZZgUbY?t=46
+1. I approve of the requested use of the mark for commercial purposes on these tiles for Framework devices. We should take this as a ticket vote in the next Fedora Council meeting. I suspect @mattdm or @jspaleta may need to seek official legal counsel and approval?
@nrpatel Now that this is past released, any objections to making this ticket into a public note for the record? We generally track requests for official use of our trademark publicly for transparency.
For the benefit of the Council, see the attached screenshots below:

Metadata Update from @jflory7:
@jflory7 No concerns from my end on making it public.
Metadata Update from @jflory7:
This ticket is now public and triaged for the next Council meeting. However, because of our Flock contributor conference happening in two weeks, I expect it might be slightly longer for a final decision, i.e. mid to late June.
@amoloney Perhaps we could take this as a quick vote topic for our face-to-face Council meeting time the day before Flock.
Why not just vote async and approve it after a week?
(Also Flock is next week, not two weeks from now.)
@ngompa Red Hat Legal input on the usage of the mark is the key input we need to make a firm decision here. If I may be humble to speak on behalf of the Fedora Council, I have a difficult time imagining anyone being opposed to the principle of this trademark request.
But, FWIW, I am
+1– contingent on receiving input from Red Hat Legal on trademark usage.
