Governance on projectious.work brand

Licensing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The repository carries two categories of intellectual property under different terms. The full text is in LICENSE.md; this page summarises it.

Brand assets — proprietary, source-available

Everything representing the visual identity: logos, brand imagery, and the design-system documents under brand/.


Permitted	Download and view for personal reference, editorial reporting, or authorised partner use
Prohibited	Modification, derivative works, sale, or commercial use — including merchandise or software featuring these assets — without prior written consent
No impersonation	Use must not imply endorsement, affiliation, or ownership by anyone other than projectious.work

Document templates under brand/templates/ fall under these same terms: they embed brand identity (colours, fonts, tagline). You may use them as structural reference for your own templates, but not redistribute them with projectious.work branding intact.

Trademark

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The names, logos, and icons associated with projectious.work are its trademarks. Full text: TRADEMARK.md.

Not permitted

Using the logo as your own, or as part of your own logo.
Using the brand name in a way that suggests partnership or official status without a signed agreement.
Registering domain names, social handles, or app names that include the trademarks in a confusingly similar way.

Permitted

Linking to the official website.
Press articles or blog posts about the project.
Technical documentation that refers to the tools.

These are nominative uses — referring to the thing by its name. They do not require permission, and they do not grant any broader licence.

Legal assessment

A pre-launch review of the elements that carry legal risk. Source: brand/html/projectious-legal-assessment.html.

Not legal advice

This is a design-side risk assessment, not a legal opinion, and it is not a registered-trademark search. Obtain professional advice before relying on it for a commercial launch.

Summary

#	Area	Verdict
1	Company name “projectious”	Low risk
2	Logo similarity — stencil peony bud	Low risk
3	Font licensing	Low risk
4	Icon library — Lucide	Low risk
5	Photography and imagery sources	Low risk
6	Other design elements	Low risk

Fonts

All three families are SIL Open Font License 1.1 and served from Google Fonts. OFL permits commercial use, embedding, and redistribution; it forbids selling the fonts on their own and requires that any derivative font use a different name. Since the fonts are linked rather than bundled, no font binaries are redistributed by this repository.

Asset provenance
