# Trademark and brand policy

The [MIT license](./LICENSE) covers the contents of this repository. It does not grant any right to use my name or my brand assets. Those identify me personally rather than the software, and this page marks where the line is.

## Brand assets

The following are excluded from the license grant, including where the files live in this repository:

- The names `chanhdai`, `ncdai`, and `chanhdai.com`
- The `chanhdai` wordmark and mark, in any form, including their SVG source
- Avatars, portraits, and other likenesses of me
- Any presentation close enough to make a reader mistake your site for mine

## You do not need permission to

- Use the code and the writing under the MIT license
- Say in plain text that your work is based on, forked from, or inspired by chanhdai.com
- Link to chanhdai.com
- Show screenshots of the site in articles, reviews, videos, and talks

## You do need permission to

- Use the name or the wordmark as the identity of your own site, product, or organization
- Put either in a domain name, app name, social handle, or logo
- Present them so as to suggest that I built, endorse, or maintain your project
- Sell merchandise carrying them

## If you fork this repository

Swap the branding before you publish:

- `src/components/chanhdai-wordmark.tsx` and `src/components/chanhdai-mark.tsx`
- The logotype paths in `src/components/site-footer-brand.tsx`
- `src/features/portfolio/data/`, which holds my personal details
- `src/config/site.ts`
- `src/app/manifest.webmanifest`, whose icons point at my CDN

It is great to see the code being useful. Ship it as yours, not as mine.
