Subject: Need clarification on Kafka Usage within our product..
Importance: High
Hi,
I have a question regarding the usage of Apache Kafka logo within our
product Unisys Data Exchange WorkBench Application. Team is working on
enhancing the product to support Kafka as Data Manage Type with XSD message
format along with other database types like SQL Server, DMSII etc... To
help users easily distinguish the Kafka XSD Database in the tree view we
have used Kafka logo with a blue overlapping strip with an "x" character to
indicate XSD message format. Could you please verify the below image
highlighted with yellow border and confirm if its ok to use? I could not
find Kafka logo compliance guidance online.
Thanks,
Rinu

Don't know if it helps but <https://kafka.apache.org/> says at the bottom
" The contents of this website are © 2016 Apache Software Foundation
under the terms of the Apache License v2. Apache Kafka, Kafka, and the
Kafka logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks of The
Apache Software Foundation in the United States and other countries. "
Also this which is the original proposition and voting for a kafka
logo. Perhaps the proposer can be contacted; he seems to be the one
that designed the logo
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-982>
You could checkout <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/> and see
if it has any statements on logo use.
Also top 3 hits of <https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=use+logo+apache>
sound promising but I've not looked at them.
Best I can suggest ATM

Yes, from your description your use of the Apache Kafka logo sounds
fine, as long as you are otherwise complying with the ASF trademark
policy. In particular, we have a closely related FAQ:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#integrateswith
Using an Apache product logo in the GUI of your software product or
service *in the context of a list of different software products or
formats you integrate with* is almost always nominative use, and
therefore fine. Here, while it's only a partial screenshot, the use of
the Apache Kafka logo is clearly referring to our Apache Kafka software
product or the files that it works with, which is OK.
Thanks for taking the time to respect Apache brands!
