Just to be very clear, the trademark policy grants licence
to use the<br>
marks in many situations outside of referential / nominative
use (which<br>
is as has been correctly pointed out is always allowed for
word marks).<br>
Before the policy was put in place any such use was
unlicensed. This is<br>
the reason why, when we put the policy in place, we provided
opportunity<br>
to all to remedy the situation, which unluckily only a small
number of<br>
users have taken the opportunity to profit from. </blockquote>

<p>I would have to dig this out, but there is, as said, only a
handful, most prominent openrailwaymap, and very recently the
upcoming SotM in Eastern Europe.<br>

<p>We've had a number that when pointed to the policy have not
applied (which is what one would expect), iirc we haven't had
somebody apply and formally not be granted permission.</p>
<p>But all that is not very surprising, as with the notable
exceptions of domain names and events (aka SotM), most common
community use of the marks is already covered and allowed by the
terms in the policy and there is no need to apply formally. As it
should be.</p>
