+====== Usage of Zotero Trademarks ======
 This document is intended to explain the proper usage of Zotero trademarks and the relationship between these trademarks and the licensing of the Zotero software. We've tried to make the following explanation as simple as possible, but ultimately trademarks and copyright are legal matters. If you have any questions about when and how to use Zotero trademarks, you should contact an attorney.

 ==== Why Care about Trademarks at All? ====
-It is important to us and to our user community to know which products are released by the Zotero project. That's why we care who uses the Zotero name and how they use it. But apart from the Zotero trademarks, we ensure that the software itself remains fully open source, which is why we chose to use the GPL.
