As part of the discussion around the use of trademarks we had a request #108 opened to provide a footer area. This has now been resolved (would like to remove the word disclaimer, and make the text smaller but we can still try it out).
In researching the text to write here I found the FSF guidance on the use of trademarks to be illuminating as always (GNU is trademarked but not enforced, and they avoid adding trademarks in their docs as unnecessary).
Even and Venka you touched on the handling of trademarks on the discussion list; I am CCing you onto this email thread if you have any enthusiasm for reviewing or trying out the proposed solution.
Wow gmail seems messed up, I have not seen a reply to this email, but when listing email it shows me the start of one - perhaps some is writing a draft?
"Jody, This is probably OK from a legal POV, but now indeed ArcGIS feels a bit prominent in this page with a double mention. And as Windows and Mac are also mentioned, they should probab…"
I have a screen snap, the oddness of cloud services!

Yeah the current appearance is too large for supplementary material. It is my hope that we can make the text small for use as a proper footer (not only for a disclaimer but also for other footnotes such as citations).
I will write your suggestion about a common page on the #108 bug report, I do not think we will be able to have a single “legal” page in common for all project pages (since they are all so different).
This is probably OK from a legal P.O.V, but now indeed ArcGIS feels a bit prominent in this page with the double mention. And as Windows and Mac are also mentionned, they should probably deserve their own (R). Ah nightmarish legal considerations…
Would that be possible to move the ‘Disclaimer’ (perhaps rename it to ‘Legal mentions’ at the bottom of the page (at least after the ‘Service providers’ section) ? or have just a ‘Legal mentions’ link that would go to a single page where we would put all that boring legal stuff and that would be common for all other project pages ?)
