Openbravo Trademark Policy Guidelines
Our trademarks are important to us as a company and we are under an obligation to protect them and the value they represent. They are also of value to users of our software, to distinguish the quality and reputation of our products and services from those distributed by other companies, including those distributing modifications of our code. We must therefore strictly enforce our trademark rights to keep them valid and to protect the expectations and trust of the users of our products and services.
Here we describe what you can do with our trademarks, including what you can do without further authorization from us and when you must seek our permission to use them.
Please note that in addition to the policy document linked to below, our license contains certain recognition and attribution obligations that we feel are fair, reasonable, and consistent with industry practice. Therefore, please read those requirements and the document below on use of our trademarks.
Do not hesitate to contact us on legal@openbravo.com.
Trademark and Attribution Policy Summary
The requirements set out set out in this policy and the license include:
- An obligation to maintain or include the "Powered by Openbravo" logo on any user interface where they appear in the original code (this is a permitted restriction on your right to modify the source code and redistribute).
- An obligation to include a recognition of our contribution in any "about" window (or similar user interface) in any program including Openbravo Code to which our license is applicable.
- An obligation to include the "Powered by Openbravo" logo on any interactive user interfaces presented at start-up of any program including Openbravo Code to which our license is applicable.

- A prohibition on removing our trademarks and logo from the source code. If you want to do this, please contact us.
These requirements are necessary to ensure you are using our trademarks correctly and to identify us as the source of our software.
Use of the Trademarks and Attribution within the Program
- Redistribution of the code without modification, and internal use with or without modification: If you use or redistribute our code without modification, you must not remove our trademarks (including "Powered by Openbravo ERP" logo) from the code. You must state that the software is Openbravo software, and include the notices as set out in the license. This applies if you also modify and use the code internally within your organization.
- Modifying and distributing the code: If you have modified our software, for example adding any extensions or modifying the MDD, and intend to redistribute it to third parties, you should include a notice (in a prominent place on the packaging and "about" windows for the software) stating: "This product includes software used under license from Openbravo, SL., but it is not an Openbravo product and has not been tested, endorsed, or approved by Openbravo, SL. or any of its affiliates." You should not, however, remove our logos or attribution notices from the software (in particular the GUI/About boxes-windows).

In all cases where you use our trademarks - including our name and our logos - you should follow the guidelines below.
- Do not use our trademarks in a way that states or suggests that we sponsor, endorse, or are otherwise affiliated with your project or product, without a formal license from us. We will consider such licenses on a case-by-case basis, but we may not grant you such a license.
- No formal license agreement is necessary if you wish to make purely informational reference to our trademarks (such as in a product review), but even informational references should follow our trademark guidelines.
