+ <p>Tor enjoys a vibrant <a |

|
53 |
+ that examines anonymity attacks and defenses, design improvements, |
|
54 |
+ impact on society, and so on. We think it's great that professors |
|
55 |
+ and other researchers continue to contribute to our community, |
|
56 |
+ and we've even gotten funding from the National Science Foundation |
|
57 |
+ to help keep the Tor design and code researcher-friendly. The <a |

|

+ Torsk, DefenestraTor, Tortoise, LASTor, Torchestra, StegoTorus, |
|
61 |

+ <p>Since the authors of these research papers aren't trying to make |
|
64 |
+ a profit from them, and (because they're just papers, not products) |
|
65 |
+ the papers aren't confusing Tor users into running potentially unsafe |
|
66 |
+ software, we believe that the use of the Tor mark in these research |
|
67 |
+ paper titles is acceptable non-trademark or fair use.</p> |

+ <p>That said, if the research paper comes with software, and that |
|

+ software could potentially confuse people (users or other researchers) |
