# Licensing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more details, please read the license that is included with the software,
|
||||||
|
hardware or documentation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Software
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All Tomu software is [open source and free software](https://opensource.org/)
|
||||||
|
but different software is under different licenses. This means that it is not
|
||||||
|
only available for download free of charge, but you have access to the source
|
||||||
|
code and may modify and redistribute our software subject to certain
|
||||||
|
restrictions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Hardware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All Tomu hardware is [certified open hardware](http://certificate.oshwa.org/certification-directory/).
|
||||||
|
This means that you have access to the source code and may modify and
|
||||||
|
redistribute our hardware subject to certain restrictions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All Tomu documentation and other non-code resources is
|
||||||
|
[creative commons](https://creativecommons.org).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Preference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Tomu project believes strongly in the value of
|
||||||
|
["share alike" licenses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share-alike)
|
||||||
|
and will use them in preference to other licenses. This is just our preference,
|
||||||
|
we understand the arguments of our friends in the
|
||||||
|
["permissive" license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_software_licence)
|
||||||
|
camp and do actively contribute and collaborate with them!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Trademarks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our policy is taken directly from the Mozilla foundation's trademark policy and
|
||||||
|
we believe it is consistent with our open source philosophy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Although our code is free, it is very important that we strictly enforce our
|
||||||
|
trademark rights, in order to be able to protect our users against people who
|
||||||
|
use the marks to commit fraud.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Our trademarks include, among others, the names Tomu, the phrase "I'm Tomu", as
|
||||||
|
well as the Tomu logo, and the Tomu robot (including variants). This means
|
||||||
|
that, while you have considerable freedom to redistribute and modify our
|
||||||
|
software, there are tight restrictions on your ability to use the Tomu names
|
||||||
|
and logos in ways which fall in the domain of trademark law.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more detail on our trademark licensing, see our Trademark Policy. If you
|
||||||
|
still have questions after reading the policy, please contact
|
||||||
|
[trademarks@tomu.im](mailto:trademarks@tomu.im).
