- of Moodle.
- The law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of
- confusingly similar names by third parties. Through this policy we’d like to
- make it clear how Moodle-related projects, organisations, and people can use
- the Moodle trademark. We’d also like to be clear about how use of the word is
- restricted when used to promote commercial Moodle services. We do this to
- protect the very business model that allows us to continue developing Moodle
- for you.

- settings).

- (eg a Moodle integration feature on another system).
- Restricted uses
- ---------------

- permission being granted to you by Moodle Pty Ltd. We do this to protect the
- Moodle project from software and sites which could confuse people. Please
- contact us to ask for permission in writing.

- Partners have this permission.
