Wow, I'm rather surprised by the reaction here. I believe there's a balance
between the core GNOME project and the bigger GNOME community. Many of the
non-core GNOME apps are in the gnome-world jhbuild packageset. I think the
response here pushes the balance too far in favor of the core GNOME project by
not allowing related projects to use the GNOME trademark even when it makes
sense.

- Are you going to request that gnome-tweak-tool change its name? There's
several gnome-* apps like gnome-video-arcade, gnome-commander, etc. that seem
to also violate this new unwritten policy.
- Are you going to request that gnome-panel change its name?
gnome-power-manager? This just adds a bunch of work for maintainers and distros
for little gain.
- What about the gnome-world packageset? Since it's not core GNOME, it can't
use the trademark either, right?
- How does this affect 'Ubuntu GNOME' which despite our best efforts will never
be 100% GNOME (but then again, most "GNOME distros" aren't 100% either)?

IANAL but I think the fact that GNOME Flashback uses the very same GNOME
technologies (gnome-panel, metacity, nautilus-classic, etc.) that were part of
core GNOME just a few months ago doesn't give GNOME developers much room to say
"but you can't call it GNOME".
