distributions, and it is the default desktop of Fedora and Debian. SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service
solution for the retail industry is based on GNOME. GNOME technology can be found in TVs, tablets, phones,
consumer devices, and in common software everywhere.</p>

<p>We want to show that our brand matters and that you care. Of the 28 trademark applications
Groupon filed, we have to file formal proceedings to oppose 10 of them by December 3, 2014. Help us raise the
funds to fight back and most of all call public attention to this terrible behavior by Groupon. Help us make
sure that when people hear about GNOME software they learn about freedom and not proprietary software. Our
counsel has advised us that we will need $80,000 to oppose the registration of the first set of 10
applications. If we are able to defend the mark without spending this amount, we will use the remaining funds
to bolster and improve GNOME. Please help us raise the money to protect GNOME's trademark and strengthen Free
Software!</p>

to the corporate world that FLOSS trademarks can and will be guarded. Not just by the project in question,
but by the community as a whole. As a result, all FLOSS trademarks will be strengthened at once.</quote><br/>

<p><quote>GNOME has been one of the hallmarks and foundation for the open source community for over 15
years. We are outraged that Groupon would attempt to insinuate that its proprietary software and products
have anything to do with the GNOME community and years of trust and good will that GNOME has built over the
years. We stand by GNOME in protecting its trademark and encourage everyone in the open source and free
software community to do the same.</quote><br/>
