OpenAdapt Trademark Policy
July 26, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
The OpenAdapt name, the OpenAdapt logo, and the openadapt.ai domain are trademarks of MLDSAI Inc. (operating as OpenAdapt.AI).
The MIT License that covers the source code in this repository and the other public OpenAdapt repositories covers the code only. It does not grant any rights to use the OpenAdapt name or logo.
What you may do without asking
- Nominative use: accurately referring to OpenAdapt to describe, review, document, teach, or compare it ("built on OpenAdapt", "compatible with OpenAdapt", "a plugin for OpenAdapt"), as long as the use is truthful and does not suggest sponsorship or endorsement by MLDSAI Inc.
- Unmodified redistribution: distributing unmodified official OpenAdapt packages under their original names, as package managers do.
- Forks for development: keeping the repository name when forking on GitHub for the purpose of contributing back.
What requires permission
- Using "OpenAdapt" or a confusingly similar name (for example "OpenAdaptPro", "OpenAdapt2", "OpenAdaption") in the name of your own product, service, company, domain name, or package.
- Publishing a modified fork under the OpenAdapt name in a way that users could mistake for an official release. If you ship a modified version, give it your own name and state that it is derived from OpenAdapt.
- Using the OpenAdapt logo, or a modified version of it, as your own mark or in a way that implies affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.
- Merchandise bearing the name or logo.
