|
|
| Updated: 2026-07-28 |
|
|
| The MIT License for this repository grants copyright permissions. It does not |
| grant rights to use Gingiris names, logos, domains, visual identity, or other |
| brand assets in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or official |
| status. |
|
|
| This policy covers the names **Gingiris**, **Gingiris Skills**, **Gingiris |
| Growth**, associated logos and visual brand assets, and confusingly similar |
| names or designs. This policy does not claim that every covered term is a |
| registered trademark in every jurisdiction. |
|
|
| ## Uses allowed without separate permission |
|
|
| You may: |
|
|
| - truthfully state that your product uses, supports, or is compatible with |
| Gingiris Skills; |
| - link to the official repository or `gingiris.tools`; |
| - reproduce the unmodified project name as needed to identify the original |
| software or show an installation command; |
| - describe a fork as “based on Gingiris Skills” when the description is |
| accurate and the fork is clearly labeled unofficial; |
| - use the names in reviews, commentary, education, research, and other |
| nominative or legally permitted references. |
|
|
| Use plain text when practical. Keep the reference no more prominent than your |
| own product or company name. |
|
|
| ## Uses that require written permission |
|
|
| Obtain permission before you: |
|
|
| - use a Gingiris name, logo, or confusingly similar variation as the name of a |
| company, product, service, package, application, event, community, or domain; |
| - use a Gingiris logo in marketing, advertising, merchandise, or paid |
| promotions; |
| - use “official,” “certified,” “approved,” “partner,” or similar wording that |
| implies a relationship with Gingiris; |
| - create a badge or visual treatment that implies an official Gingiris |
| integration, certification, marketplace listing, or endorsement; |
| - white-label or resell a service using Gingiris branding. |
|
|
| ## Forks and redistributed copies |
|
|
| The MIT License permits forks and redistribution. A fork or redistributed |
| version must not create confusion about its source or status. |
|
|
| - Give the fork a distinct primary name. |
| - State prominently that it is unofficial and not endorsed by Gingiris. |
| - Do not use Gingiris logos as the fork's icon or primary identity. |
| - Preserve copyright and license notices required by the MIT License. |
| - Do not use official Gingiris domains, social profiles, screenshots, or |
| customer evidence to imply continuity with the original service. |
|
|
| ## No effect on legal rights |
|
|
| This policy does not limit fair use, nominative use, or other rights provided by |
| applicable law. It also does not replace the repository's copyright license, |
| terms for hosted services, or a separately signed commercial agreement. |
