<h1>Tor Trademark Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
<hr />

<h2>How can I use the name “Tor”?</h2>
<p>The Tor Project encourages developers to use the name Tor in ways that
do not confuse the public about the source of anonymity software and
services.  If you are building open-source non-commercial software or
services that incorporate or work with the Tor Project's code, you may
use the name “Tor” in an accurate description of your work.  We ask you
to include a link to the official Tor website,
<a href="https://www.torproject.org/">https://www.torproject.org</a> so users can verify the original source of
Tor for themselves, and a note indicating that your project is not
sponsored by the Tor Project. For example, “This product is produced
independently from the Tor™ anonymity software and carries no guarantee
from the Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else.”</p>

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

<h2>Does this mean you're enforcing trademark rights?</h2>
<p>The Tor Project is a non-profit corporation organized to research and
develop the Tor anonymity software and network.  We don't want to be
trademark bullies, but we will use trademark to protect the public's
ability to recognize Tor Project software.  Trademark helps us to assure
that the name is used only in connection with genuine Tor anonymity
software and for accurate description of software and services.  
After all, to protect their anonymity securely, computer users must be
able to identify the software they are using, so they can account
properly for its strengths and weaknesses.  Tor has become well-known as
a software package and associated network of onion-routing anonymizing
proxies, with online documentation, instructions for strengthening
anonymity protection, and warnings that even at this stage it remains
experimental software.  We work with developers to improve the software
and network and actively encourage researchers to document attacks to
help us strengthen its anonymity protection further.  We distribute the
software itself freely, but require correct attribution. </p>
