Apodora Trademark and Copyright Policy

The appeal of open source is that anoyone has the right to copy, modify, and redistribute the software, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable open source license (such as MPL, GPL, and so on). While we at ACULIS, Inc. made Apodora available to the world as open source, please understand that we are not thereby providing third parties with the right to use the Apodora trademarks in inappropriate ways.

Apodora Trademarks

"Apodora" and the Apodora logo are trademarks of ACULIS, Inc. and are protected under the laws of the United States and other countries. The Apodora trademarks identify ACULIS, Inc. as the source and origin of Apodora products that we distribute under an open source license. Other companies are not allowed to distribute their own products - even products derived from Apodora software under our open source license - under the Apodora trademarks.

In order to preserve their value as trademarks, ACULIS, Inc. prohibits inappropriate uses of these Apodora trademarks by other companies, organizations or individuals.

Some trademark uses, of course, are legitimate, such as to properly indicate Apodora software or related services. Wherever you do use the Apodora trademark to properly indicate Apodora software or related services, you must include the following notice wherever your own trademarks are noticed:

"Apodora" and the Apodora logo are trademarks of ACULIS, Inc.

Your ability to produce and redistribute derivative works of or collective works that include Apodora is governed by the open source license under which you received it (unless you enter into a formal agreement with ACULIS, Inc. under which you receive alternative licensing terms). Open source licenses do not include a license to trademarks, and so for you to produce a derivative work of or a collective work including the Apodora software for distribution consistent with trademark law, you must remove all occurrences of the Apodora trademark and the Apodora logo that are visible to users so that nobody can be confused that ACULIS, Inc. is the source or origin of your derivative or collective works.

Moreover, none of the Apodora trademarks can be used in the promotion, identification, or distribution of

A derivative work of Apodora;
A collective work that includes Apodora; or
Independent software that offers similar function to that embodied within Apodora.

unless you have received written permission to do so from ACULIS, Inc. To do otherwise would inevitably confuse people about the source or origin of those other works or incorrectly imply thatACULIS, Inc. endorsed them.

Zimbra Copyright

The copyright in and to Apodora is owned by ACULIS, Inc. An appropriate copyright notice is carried within each source file of Apodora, and also on the login screens of the user interface:

These Apodora copyright notices should not be confused with trademarks described earlier. Apodora copyright notices (and any copyright notices of our contributors that we have placed in Apodora software) must remain unmodified so that users of derivative or collective works created from Apodora software always know that ACULIS, Inc. (or, in some cases, our contributor) owns a copyright in the original work.

The ACULIS-owned portions of any collective or derivative works remain available under our open source license. Furthermore, those collective and derivative works are subject to the reciprocity provisions of our license, as described in the Apodora Licensing FAQ, which may also make them available under the same open source license. For these reasons, we require that you leave our copyright notices wherever they appear in your derivative works of or collective works including Apodora, and to display our copyright notice in the same places and with the same prominence as you display your own copyright notice.

It is generally considered good open source practice to identify in the source code of your derivative or collective works your own copyright notices for the portions of the work you added or changed. We suggest that you also include a change log of the alterations that you have made in order to help downstream users or redistributors identify and distinguish what you have created from what ACULIS, Inc. has created and made available as open source software.

Again, unless you have entered into another formal agreement with ACULIS, Inc. under which you have received alternative licensing terms, your ability to produce and redistribute derivative works of or collective works that include Apodora is governed by the open source license under which you received it and by laws relating to copyrights and trademarks described in this Policy.
