Open Usage Commons

Free and Fair to Use The Open Usage Commons gives open source project users peace of mind that projects are free and fair to use.

The Open Usage Commons currently uses the existing trademark policies for the Open Usage Commons project trademarks. Existing permitted uses under the existing project trademark policies will continue to be permitted by the Open Usage Commons. The trademark policies for the project marks may evolve under the stewardship of the Open Usage Commons, but always with a focus on maximally supporting open source development and aligning tightly with the open source definition.
