    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">That would be me (and please forgive my
      lurking). I was inspired when I worked at Red Hat as its inside
      trademark counsel and saw many sites that didn't have guidelines,
      and those that did had differing opinions on what should be
      permitted and what shouldn't be. I thought it would be beneficial
      to create some common understanding on the community level, in the
      way that people have common understandings about what you can do
      with software if has a GPL license, Mozilla license, etc., which
      makes life easier for everyone using the licenses. I've since left
      Red Hat and now have a private practice, although I am still
      actively involved in the open source community.<br>
      <br>
      I'm happy to answer any questions about what's there and welcome
      any contributions. If there are enough differences between
      hardware and software, maybe we could set up parallel pages for
      the two different uses.<br>
