Details

I own the domain FireFoxForum.com.  My idea was to develop it into something
where people can just talk about FireFox and how much they love it.  The idea
was to have people come tell other web developers / normal people about addons
that they love / enjoy and just generally talk about FireFox.  Yes, the logo is
being used in the header and I was unaware that this is illegal along with the
domain without your permission.  Would it be possible to get your permission to
run this site?  I also would add text to the site that states that it is no way
affiliated with mozilla.  I would just like permission to run the site.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan Amos
I'm still waiting on a response to this?  May I please get some type of
response.  Thanks in advance,
Ryan Amos
Dude, you may not have noticed, but yesterday was Christmas Day!

To begin with, could you please remove the Firefox logo from the header? I'll
have more of a think about this after Christmas.

Gerv
I'm very sorry about that.  I was not trying to be rude by any means.  I will
remove the logo from the header as you wish and will grant your wishes with the
rest of your requests.

Thanks again,
Ryan Amos
I didn't think you were being rude - just a little over-optimistic ;-)

Gerv
Hi again,

I don't want to be rude by any means and don't want anyone to take offense to
this, but I just wanted to update this to see if there was a type of 'bump' in
the reports.  Don't mean to be rude at all or rush anyone just trying to get
this solved.

Thanks,
Ryan Amos
I don't know what you mean by "a type of bump in the reports".

We're currently working on a document which will allow people to get permission
to use the name "Firefox" in domain names. I'll let you know as soon as it's done.

Gerv
Thanks for the update.  I really appreciate it.  By the 'bumps' I meant
something like the bugs get moved to the top of the list as they are updated.

Thanks again either way!

Ryan Amos
We're currently working on a document people can sign in order to use our
trademarks in their domain names. This would enable you to use FireFoxForum.com.
As soon as it's ready, I'll let you know. :-)

Gerv
Just curious if this is still in progress?  Please let me know either way.  I
just don't want to have to worry about this anymore.

Thanks,
Ryan Amos
Comment #8 still gives the position. These things take time.

Gerv
OK thanks.  I'll just be patient.  I'm new to these types of things.  Sorry for
the hassle and thanks for the help!
You'll be pleased to hear that we now have an agreement you can sign to get
permission to do this. Thank you very much for your patience in this matter.

You can get the document here:
http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/domain-name-license.pdf
I apologise that it's only a PDF at the moment; I hope to get an HTML version up
soon.

If you would like to use a Foundation trademark as part of your domain name, you
just need to fill in a copy, return it to us by postal mail, and wait for the reply.

If you have any questions, please contact licensing@mozilla.org.
