Remove trademark symbols and disclaimers from README #9
Comments
You edited your comment so now I should respond. They're not necessary as they fall under nominative fair use. If you fear confusion of affiliation simply explicitly state you aren't affiliated, I'm surprised there isn't such a message in the README already, as those disclaimers do not necessarily imply non-affiliation. Either way, if you fear you aren't protected by nominative fair use, it's still useful to explicitly state you aren't affiliated |
I edited the comment because the point was unclear and I wasn't entirely sure how to word it to avoid making it less clear. I am not the person you are addressing with your issue, though. I just happen to know that fair use is often thrown around incorrectly and a lot of assumption is made on how liberal you can get with it. |
Sorry for being unclear myself. I meant that you edited your comment into something I wanted to respond to, whereas your previous versions I would've simply left standing without a reply. As for saying "you", since it says Contributor next to your name I thought you had control over it, but instead I should be thinking of Maintainer. We're on the same page now, thanks for your time |
There is no need to respect a third party's trademarks as your usage falls under nominative fair use
