# Omnipus Trademarks

The **Omnipus** name, the **Omnipus** logo, the **"The Sovereign Deep"** design system, and the **octopus mascot ("Master Tasker")** are trademarks of **elicify.ai Pte. Ltd.** (Singapore).

This trademark notice is **separate from** and **in addition to** the source-code license in [`LICENSE`](LICENSE). The MIT license grants you the right to use, copy, modify, and redistribute the Omnipus *code*. It does **not** grant you a license to use the Omnipus *brand*.

## What you can do without permission

- Use unmodified Omnipus binaries and refer to them as "Omnipus".
- Build software that integrates with Omnipus (channels, skills, MCP servers, hooks) and refer to it as "for Omnipus" or "Omnipus-compatible".
- Write articles, tutorials, books, or videos about Omnipus and use the Omnipus name to refer to it.
- Fork the source code and publish your modified version under a *different* name and brand.

## What requires permission

- Use of the "Omnipus" name, logo, or octopus mascot to identify, name, or market a **modified version** of the software, a **derivative product**, a **commercial offering**, or any goods or services. This includes (but is not limited to) hosting a SaaS variant as "Omnipus" or distributing a forked binary as "Omnipus Pro", "OmniPlus", "Omnipus Cloud", etc.
- Use of the Omnipus brand in a way that implies endorsement, partnership, or official affiliation with elicify.ai Pte. Ltd.
- Domain names containing "omnipus", "elicify", or confusingly similar strings.
- Use of the brand assets (logo SVGs, design tokens, the "Sovereign Deep" palette) in a way unrelated to the unmodified upstream project.

If you need any of the above for a legitimate purpose — community event, commercial integration, partnership — please contact **connect@elicify.ai** (or, until that mailbox is live, file an issue tagged `[trademark]` describing your use case).

## Why this exists

Open-source code licenses (MIT in our case) cover **copyright** — the right to copy and modify the source. They do **not** cover **trademarks** — the right to use the name and brand. Without a separate trademark notice, a fork could legally call itself "Omnipus Enterprise Edition" and confuse users about who's behind it. This page makes the boundary explicit.

The pattern is standard across the open-source ecosystem: Linux, Kubernetes, Mozilla Firefox, MariaDB, and many others use the same dual structure (open-source code license + reserved trademark).

## Reporting trademark misuse

If you see a project, product, or service using the Omnipus name or logo in a way you believe is unauthorized, please email **connect@elicify.ai** or open a GitHub issue tagged `[trademark]`. Include a link to the misuse and any context that helps us evaluate.
