Is there is the difference between Laravel and WordPress tradmark policies?

[ad_1]

In light of current drama, accidentlly landed on Laravel trademark policy.

There I see this permitted:

  • The Trademark is used in a manner consistent with this Policy;
  • There is no commercial intent behind the use;
  • What you are referring to is in fact Laravel. If someone is confused into thinking that what isn't Laravel is in fact Laravel, you are probably doing something wrong;
  • There is no suggestion (through words or appearance) that your project is approved, sponsored, or affiliated with Laravel, Laravel or its related projects unless it actually has been approved by and is accountable to Laravel.

Also restricted use:

  • Any commercial use including for any services related to Laravel such as providing training services, conference services, or design services (should you wish to provide such services, please contact us beforehand to explore Laravel's Partnership Program);
  • Use on or in relation to a software product that includes or is built on top of a product supplied by us, if there is any commercial intent associated with that product;
  • Use in a domain name or URL;
  • Use for services relating to any of the above.

Is this better, same or worst then WordPress terms ?

  1. It’s the same (but at least Laravel’s is clearer and easier to understand) – it’s not like you make up your own rules on how your trademark is used. Matt seems to be misunderstanding Fair Use.

  2. To my knowledge, the policies are consistent.

    Also to my knowledge, Taylor Otwell has never flexed his ego against someone in the same way that Matt Mullenweg has.

  3. Every agencies customise WordPress and even restrict admin or disable auto-updates to themes and plugins. What is the difference?

    So damn it, if it’s easy to migrate to other tech in 2025.
