# Chanora Trademark and Attribution Review
|
|
|
|
**Document status:** DV meeting baseline candidate
|
|
**Date:** 2026-05-29
|
|
**Decision state:** DEC-012 remains open; public/store release blocked
|
|
|
|
## 1. Purpose
|
|
|
|
This document records the legal/trademark/attribution checks needed before Chanora can be publicly distributed. It supports DV review by making the open DEC-012 gate explicit.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Non-Affiliation Position
|
|
|
|
Chanora must present itself as an independent client application. It may describe compatibility with TeamSpeak 3-compatible servers where accurate, but it must not imply that Chanora is official, endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with TeamSpeak or any trademark owner.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Required Wording Controls
|
|
|
|
| Surface | Required control |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| App About dialog | Include independent/non-affiliation wording and OSS license pointer |
|
|
| README and documentation | Use compatibility wording rather than official-product wording |
|
|
| Store metadata | Avoid official affiliation claims and review trademark usage |
|
|
| Release notes | Match actual supported capability and platform limitations |
|
|
| Website or marketing copy | Require legal review before publication |
|
|
|
|
## 4. Attribution and OSS Controls
|
|
|
|
| Topic | Required result before public/store release |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Dependency license inventory | Rust and Flutter inventories generated and reviewed |
|
|
| NOTICE file | Required third-party attributions included |
|
|
| Dual-license statement | Chanora MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensing remains visible |
|
|
| Patched/forked dependencies | Forks and pinned revisions are documented with rationale |
|
|
| Trademark references | References are nominative, accurate, and reviewed |
|
|
|
|
## 5. Current Review State
|
|
|
|
| Item | State | Release impact |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| DEC-012 legal/trademark/OSS review | Open | Blocks public/store release |
|
|
| About dialog non-affiliation statement | Reported implemented in `docs/implementation-status-2026-05-28.md` | Needs final wording review |
|
|
| NOTICE pointer | Reported implemented in About dialog | Needs inventory/legal confirmation |
|
|
| Store metadata | Not approved in current record | Blocks store release |
|
|
| Public compatibility wording | Not approved in current record | Blocks public release |
|
|
|
|
## 6. DV Conclusion
|
|
|
|
Legal/trademark/attribution requirements are identified, but DEC-012 is not closed. DV may pass the document baseline only if public/store release remains No-Go.
