Re: Mepis-11.0 Trinity For clarification, the Mepis name and logo are protected. My assumption is if you start with Mepis, appreciably change it and call it something else , there is no issue. Is that right?

Re: Mepis-11.0 Trinity That's my understanding. The MEPIS name & logo are trademarked and you need permission distribute a product using them.
With a few exceptions, all the code bits including the installer & MEPIS utilities are under Free and/or open source licenses and can be used. Those exceptions are things like Skype, Dropbox and possibly some firmware. IIRC, the default software licenses for Skype & Dropbox don't allow redistribution so Warren had to get permission. At one time he also included RealPlayer which, again is not normally redistributable. In the past I know some of the wireless firmware had similar legal issues - I don't believe it does anymore but I'm not at all sure. IANAL, YMMV. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: Mepis-11.0 Trinity
Since Danum has already given us many excellent remasters wth names including "Mepis" without any protest from WW, I don't see why another should matter. Perhaps the problem only surfaces if DistroWatch is asked to list the remastered product? I wish I had never raised the issue.  But now I can only apologize. |

Re: Mepis-11.0 Trinity
The issue has never been raised in the past. Since the question was raised, I am just requesting a clarification. I am not the expert on this. _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: Mepis-11.0 Trinity
I too am no expert. The issue did arise when MEC made a remaster which he eventually named "Anubis-Linux" |
