## Disclaimers
This project is still pretty young but moving at a pretty good pace. Not all features are fully implemented in the current alpha builds.
**Project Status:** Meshtastic is now at a stage where it offers a _mostly_ stable and reliable functionality, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our development team. While the core aspects of the project are well-established, we are still rapidly evolving and actively adding new features. As we continue to innovate and expand, some features in our current builds are in development, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement and growth. We appreciate your engagement as we advance further in this exciting journey.
- We don't make these devices and they haven't been tested by UL or the FCC. If you use them, you are experimenting and we can't promise they won't burn your house down ;-)
- The encryption implementation is good but see this list of [caveats](/docs/overview/encryption#summary-of-strengthsweaknesses-of-our-current-implementation) to determine risks you might face.
**Safety and Regulations:** Please be aware that the devices related to this project are not manufactured by us and have not been tested by regulatory organizations such as UL or the FCC. Therefore, using these devices should be considered experimental. While we focus on safety in our designs, we advise users to exercise caution to avoid any potential risks.
**Encryption and Security:** Our encryption measures are robust and a significant aspect of our project. However, it's important to recognize the limitations and risks associated with any encryption technology. For an in-depth understanding of these aspects, kindly review this list of [caveats](/docs/overview/encryption#summary-of-strengthsweaknesses-of-our-current-implementation).
## Legal FAQ

Nope. though if some other person/group wanted to use this software and a more customized device we think that would be awesome (as long as they obey the GPL license). [See more details here](/docs/legal/licensing).
**A:** We do not have plans to commercialize Meshtastic. However, we are open to and supportive of others using our software in their commercial endeavors, provided they comply with the GPL license. More details can be found on [our licensing guidelines](/docs/legal/licensing-and-trademark).

## Meshtastic Trademark Policy
## Licensing
You are hereby granted a two-year, non-exclusive license to use the Meshtastic® logo and trademark on your products or projects, in accordance with our [trademark guidelines](/docs/legal/licensing-and-trademark#meshtastic-trademark-policy--brand-guidelines). While there is no fee for this usage, we suggest allocating $1 per unit sold to a fund that will eventually support Meshtastic. This contribution, though not mandatory, is greatly appreciated.
Please ensure the inclusion of the following statement in your support documentation:
> Meshtastic® is a registered trademark of Meshtastic LLC. Meshtastic software components are released under various licenses, see GitHub for details. No warranty is provided - use at your own risk.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can use our community project logos, "M-Powered" and "M-PWRD", which are specifically designed for projects that utilize Meshtastic technology. These logos offer a straightforward way to show compatibility with our platform without needing a trademark grant. For more information on these logos, including usage guidelines and design files, please refer to [Community Project Logos: M-Powered & M-PWRD](/docs/legal/licensing-and-trademark#community-project-logos-m-powered--m-pwrd).
## Meshtastic Trademark Policy & Brand Guidelines
Meshtastic, and Meshtastic logo ("Meshtastic Logo"), either separately or in combination, are hereinafter referred to as "Meshtastic Trademarks" and are trademarks of the Meshtastic LLC. Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Meshtastic Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product, or use the Meshtastic Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on websites, or on software. In fact, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. If you have questions about this policy, please contact the Trademark Supervisor by enquiring at [trademark@meshtastic.org](mailto:trademark@meshtastic.org).

- the Logo Usage Guidelines are strictly observed.
- a copy of the use of the Meshtastic Trademarks is provided to the Trademark Supervisor within seven (7) days of its initial use, for example by sending a URL or other copy of such use.
### Community Project Logos: M-Powered & M-PWRD
We are excited to introduce two new logos for our community members: the "M-Powered" and "M-PWRD" logos. These logos are designed to be used by projects that are powered by Meshtastic technology, offering an easy way to indicate compatibility with our platform.
#### Usage Guidelines
- **Variants:**
- "M-Powered" with the full word "powered."
- "M-PWRD" with an abbreviated "PWRD" for a cleaner, concise design. This version is particularly recommended for 3D printed objects such as enclosures.
- **Freedom of Use:** Unlike the main Meshtastic logo, using the "M-Powered" or "M-PWRD" logos does not require a trademark grant. These logos are intended for broader use in the community to signify that a project is Meshtastic-compatible.
- **Appropriate Contexts:** In most scenarios, the "M-Powered" or "M-PWRD" logos will be more suitable than the official Meshtastic logo. They are ideal for project documentation, promotional materials, and product designs to show compatibility with Meshtastic.
- **Non-Endorsement:** It's important to note that using these logos does not imply endorsement or sponsorship by the Meshtastic Project. They are purely for indicating compatibility or association with Meshtastic technology.
We have provided design files for these logos in our [Meshtastic Design repository](https://github.com/meshtastic/design/tree/master/Meshtastic%20Powered%20Logo).
