Trademarks and the GNU General Public License
The GNU General Public License (GPL) permits third parties to use and redistribute the underlying software under certain conditions. Such use and/or redistribution of MirageLab software products should be distinguished from the use of the MirageLab marks.
The GPL does not provide any license or right to use a MirageLab mark in any form or media. Thus, although a GPL licensee may redistribute the underlying software, a GPL licensee may not use a MirageLab mark in doing so that does not conform to the MirageLab trademark policy without written permission of MirageLab.
MirageLab software products, such as labAccounting, are copyrighted works released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Verbatim copies of such works may be made and distributed, by anyone, in accordance with the terms of the GPL without violating the MirageLab trademarks.
Miragelab hopes to offer the best quality of products but does not offer an
inherent warrant with software. However, service contracts are available if
further support is required.
