The Apache Software Foundation holds trademarks on behalf of its projects. For the Apache OpenOffice project these trademarks include the names Apache OpenOffice and OpenOffice.org, as well as the graphical logo. Use of these marks is prohibited without explicit permission from the ASF.
However, the Apache OpenOffice project is happy to work with 3rd parties who desire to use these trademarks in ways that are beneficial to the project, which do not imply endorsement by ASF, and which are fully in conformance with Apache policies.
To request such permission, follow these steps:
First familiarize yourself with the Apache Trademark Policy. Many of the common cases are already addressed there. And some uses of ASF marks ("nominative use") are automatically allowed.
Email a proposal to ooo-private@incubator.apache.org. In the proposal, please include:
Name and contact information of the company, organization or person requesting the permission
A list of what ASF controlled marks you wish to use
A description of how these marks would be used. Give supporting detail, along with context If you are requesting use of the logo, for example, provide a prototype of how the logo would appear in the context of the overall design.
Any other information you think would be useful, e.g., any impeding deadlines
On receipt of the proposal, the Apache OpenOffice PPMC will review and decide whether or not to recommend approval.
If the PPMC recommends approval, then they will forward their recommendation, along with your proposal and any follow up communications, to the Apache V.P. of Brand Management for final approval.
We will then notify you of the outcome.

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
