12) <h2>How can I use the name “Tor”?</h2>
13) <p>The Tor Project encourages developers to use the name Tor in ways that
14) do not confuse the public about the source of anonymity software and
15) services.  If you are building open-source non-commercial software or

16) services that incorporate or work with The Tor Project's code, you may

17) use the name “Tor” in an accurate description of your work.  We ask you

18) to include a link to the official Tor website

19) <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">https://www.torproject.org</a> so users can verify the original source of
20) Tor for themselves, and a note indicating that your project is not

21) sponsored by The Tor Project. For example, “This product is produced

22) independently from the Tor™ anonymity software and carries no guarantee

23) from The Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else.”</p>

26) <h2>Can I use the Tor onion logo?</h2>
27) <p>If you're making non-commercial use of Tor software, you may also use
28) the Tor onion logo (as an illustration, not as a brand for your
29) products).  Please don't modify the design or colors of the logo.  You
30) can use items that look like the Tor onion logo to illustrate a point
31) (e.g. an exploded onion with layers, for instance), so long as they're
32) not used as logos in ways that would confuse people.</p>

35) <h2>Does this mean you're enforcing trademark rights?</h2>
36) <p>The Tor Project is a non-profit corporation organized to research and
37) develop the Tor anonymity software and network.  We don't want to be
38) trademark bullies, but we will use trademark to protect the public's
39) ability to recognize Tor Project software.  Trademark helps us to assure
40) that the name is used only in connection with genuine Tor anonymity

41) software and for accurate description of software and services.

42) After all, to protect their anonymity securely, computer users must be
43) able to identify the software they are using, so they can account
44) properly for its strengths and weaknesses.  Tor has become well-known as
45) a software package and associated network of onion-routing anonymizing
46) proxies, with online documentation, instructions for strengthening
47) anonymity protection, and warnings that even at this stage it remains
48) experimental software.  We work with developers to improve the software
49) and network and actively encourage researchers to document attacks to
50) help us strengthen its anonymity protection further.  We distribute the
51) software itself freely, but require correct attribution. </p>
