The code is free. The name is not part of that. OpenPOC's source is licensed under the GNU AGPLv3, which gives you broad rights to use, study, modify and redistribute it. That licence grants rights over copyright in the source. It grants no rights in the name or the mark: "OpenPOC" and the OpenPOC mark are trademarks. This page is for the separate question of when you may put that name and that mark on something.

In running text the product name is written OpenPOC: one word, a capital O, and POC in capitals.

The mark is a rounded square carrying a ring broken at one point, with a solid dot at its centre. Every file in this section is square, and every PNG has a transparent background outside the rounded corners.

Full colour

Orange square, white ring and dot. Use this one unless you have a reason not to.

PNG: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 pixels.

Black and white

Black square, white ring and dot, for where the orange cannot be reproduced.

PNG: 256, 512 pixels.

Reversed

White square, black ring and dot, for dark backgrounds. Shown here on a dark tile; the file itself carries no background.

PNG: 256, 512 pixels.

Vector sources

Scalable artwork on a 64x64 canvas, and what the PNGs above were rendered from. Use these wherever you can; they stay sharp at any size.

SVG: full colour, black and white, reversed.

The same mark is also served as this site's favicon, at /favicon.svg and /favicon.ico.

Horizontal lockups

The same mark with the name set beside it, for the places where a square is the wrong shape: a partner page, a store listing, a site footer, or a line saying that your product works with OpenPOC. Every file in this section is a wide rectangle on a 277x64 canvas, and every PNG has a transparent background.

Full colour

Orange mark, the name in near-black and orange. Use this one unless you have a reason not to.

PNG: 256, 512, 1024 pixels wide.

Black and white

Black mark, black name, for where the orange cannot be reproduced.

PNG: 256, 512 pixels wide.

Reversed

White mark, white name, for dark backgrounds. Shown here on a dark tile; the file itself carries no background.

PNG: 256, 512 pixels wide.

Vector sources

Scalable artwork on a 277x64 canvas, and what the PNGs above were rendered from. The name is drawn as outlines rather than live text, so these need no font installed to render correctly.

SVG: full colour, black and white, reversed.

Using the name and the mark

The intent here is simple: make it easy to say truthfully that your product works with OpenPOC, and avoid anyone being misled about who made what.

Usually fine, no permission needed:

Saying, in plain words, that your device runs OpenPOC or works with OpenPOC.
Showing the app on a screen in a product photo, a screenshot or a manual.
Reproducing the mark unmodified to identify the app, at a size where it stays legible.

Please do not:

Alter the mark -- recolouring, stretching, rotating, outlining, adding effects, or rebuilding it from parts all count.
Use "OpenPOC" as your own product name, company name, app name or domain name, or as part of one.
Present the name or mark so that it looks like OpenPOC endorses, certifies, sponsors or supplies your product.
Ship a modified build under the OpenPOC name or mark. AGPLv3 gives you every right to modify and redistribute the software; it does not carry the name along with it, so a fork needs its own.

License

The client, the server and the wire protocol are licensed under the GNU AGPLv3, apart from a small amount of vendored third-party source that keeps its own licence. That licence governs the code and nothing else: the name and the mark sit outside it, which is the whole reason this page exists.
