While I don't speak for the Foundation, they already have a fairly |
| 10 |
decent policy addressing this: |

I believe this really only applies to use outside of Gentoo, and not |
| 14 |
internal use. Whether a service like a Discord site falls under |
| 15 |
internal use probably depends on the degree to which they are |
| 16 |
completely subject to Council/Trustees/etc, and the social contract |
| 17 |
and code of conduct as enacted by those bodies. |

For non-internal use the name/logo guidelines already have |
| 20 |
requirements around reputation and code of conduct. You can't just |
| 21 |
call yourself "Gentoo" and do whatever you want (not that I'm implying |
| 22 |
that this is what any particular site is doing - I haven't even seen |
| 23 |
the discord). |
