Trademark
Using the Helios name and related marks.
Apache-2.0 covers copyright and patents for the software. It does not grant a trademark license for Helios names, logos, or other marks except for ordinary descriptive use of the unmodified project.
People should not be confused about endorsement, compatibility, or who published a build.
Fine without asking
- Say you use, integrate with, or derived from
@helioslx/core - Link to the project and use the package name in dependency lists
- Discuss Helios in news, reviews, education, or community forums
- Call an unmodified official release what it is
Do not imply sponsorship, certification, or official status.
Needs permission
- Naming a company, product, domain, package, or event with a Helios mark (or something confusingly similar)
- Using Helios logos or distinctive branding in a product or promo
- Calling a modified build an official Helios release
- Merchandise, advertising, fundraising, or certification uses
Forks
Forks are welcome under the software license. Use a distinct name and branding.
You may say you derived from @helioslx/core and link upstream. Keep Apache
notices; drop branding that would make the fork look official.
Packages and compatibility
Third-party packages should not look like official Helios packages. “For Helios” is fine when the publisher is clearly third-party. Compatibility claims should be accurate and specific; misleading claims may be asked to be fixed.
Questions
Open a trademark-labeled issue on the core repo for non-confidential
questions or permission requests. Do not use the private security channel for
trademark matters.
