Great news indeed, Andre, who is a driving force behind the [Transition Drupal project](https://news.transitionnetwork.org/news/2010-05-27/transition-drupal-project-takes-flight), has been granted the right to use the Drupal trademark in the project’s name. This is top news – good work all – here’s the blurb:

> Hi, everyone. Great news: we’ve qualified for a perpetual, worldwide license at no cost to use the Drupal trademark in our name.  
>  
> Thus, we are authorized to use both “Transition Drupal” and “TransitionDrupal.org.”  
>  
> The conditions of the license are:  
>  
> “The conditional use of the trademark Drupal in the title and domain name “TransitionDrupal.org” of a Drupal transition website welcoming contributions from private companies and in the name of a Drupal-fork. This use is only granted on the condition that the limited contributions made by the private companies are used for this drupal transition project.”  
>  
> In other words, as long as we keep the contributed code in the public domain (i.e. not charge a license for it, our commitment) we can accept contributions from both not-for-profit and private companies.  
>  
> I’ve attached the license to this post. Please review it and send back any questions. If we can’t determine the answers ourselves with our collective legal acumen, I will ask the law firm handling our request before signing it and sending it back.
