Wireshark Trademark Use on Research/Personal Website

1

Good Day,

I'm working on a school project that is being displayed on a public website. I would like to display the Wireshark logo on a section regarding my research. I've been trying to locate the Wireshark Trademark policy/rules to ensure that I abide by them, however I have been unable to locate anything.

I found this post: http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/28795/is-it-allowed-to-have-wireshark-screenshots-on-the-company-homepage

It does state that if the logo is in a screenshot to ensure to give credit to wireshark.org. I would like to confirm that it is acceptable.

No profits will be gained, just research and credit to Wireshark organization.

Thank You,

B.A. Hansen

Rather than ask the chattering classes here for an opinion :-), for absolute certainty you should contact the owner of the trademark, the Wireshark Foundation. Oddly enough Google couldn't find a link directly to them, but I suspect Gerald might know where to find them.

Some sites have somthing like this on their site "All other product or service names mentioned in a document on this server are trademarks of their respective companies."
