We want to make it difficult for anyone to use the name and logos of WordPress or WordCamp to unjustly benefit, deceive, or mislead those seeking WordPress or WordCamp formalities.

WordPress allows you to use its name and emblem for your WordPress design that meets the following criteria: Your project's main goal is to encourage the dissemination and enhancement of WordPress technology. Description: Your scheme is not of a commercially oriented character (it can earn cash to recover its cost or help charities, but it cannot be run as a for-profit scheme or company).

When your artwork fulfills these requirements, you may use the WordPress name and the WordPress emblem to advertise your artwork at will, with one exception:
