Brand & trademark

Using the Mindwtr name.

Mindwtr is free and open source, and forking is genuinely welcome. The one thing the code license doesn't cover is the name and the logo — here's the plain-language version of what that means.

The license

The code is open. The name isn't part of it.

Mindwtr's source code is licensed under AGPL-3.0 — you're free to use it, study it, modify it, and share it under those terms. That's the point of open source, and we're glad you're here. What the AGPL doesn't grant is the Mindwtr name or logo: software licenses cover code, not brands, and the name and icon are trademarks, held separately. That's normal for open-source projects, and it's what lets “Mindwtr” keep meaning this app.

Forking

Fork it — please do.

Fork it, patch it, build your own version, run it for yourself or your team — all encouraged. Keep it for yourself or send your changes back upstream and there's nothing else to think about.

Redistributing

Shipping it to others? Give it your own name.

If you distribute a modified build to other people — your own release, an app-store listing, a hosted version — please give it your own name and icon, and don't present it as “Mindwtr” or imply it's endorsed by or affiliated with this project. A different name keeps things clear for users and honest for both projects.

Questions

Not sure? Just ask.

Want to use the name or logo for an article, a video, a compatible tool, or a community project? Most reasonable, non-confusing uses are completely fine, and we're happy to say yes. Email [email protected] and ask.
