* You can't publish news (on online or press newspaper) into English that point to your local web site: If you publish a news into English, you can, but link must point to www.dolibarr.org.

* You can't use local community portal to promote exclusively your own private services. This is what this means: If you are a company with your own services, description and prices of such services must be on a different portal, with a different name. Don't forget that a community portal serve project, not directly your business (even if it helps, it should just help), and this are two different things. So, you can have links from your commercial web site to reach the community portal, but links from community portal must never link '''exclusively''' toward your commercial web site/services. If you have this need, you must choose between:

* You can't use local community Home page portal to promote exclusively your own private services. This is what this means: If you are a company with your own services, then description and prices of such services must be on a different portal, with a different name. Don't forget that a community portal is brand of community project, not a direct home page of your business (even if it helps, it should just help), and community project and company portal are two different things. So, you can have links from your commercial web site to reach the community portal, but links from community portal must never link '''exclusively''' toward your commercial web site/services. If you really need to include such links, you must choose between:
** A link to a neutral page opened to competitors. For example, for a SaaS/Cloud hosting service, you can link to official wiki page [[Cloud_Solutions]] and ask to include your company or product page into this page. Another example, for a specialized module: You can make add description of your module onto official wiki documentation of external modules http://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Category:Complementary_modules and add a link to this page.

** A link to a "neutral page" opened to competitors or that show that you are not the only provider of solution, but just one of the most "engaged" company. For example, for a SaaS/Cloud hosting service, you can link to official wiki page [[Cloud_Solutions]] and ask to include your company or product page into this page. Or you can change are that present things like this "This is example of cloud services provided by company xxx" (meaning other companies may also provide such services). Another example, for a specialized module: You can add description of your module onto official wiki documentation of external modules http://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Category:Complementary_modules and add a link to this page, or you can have your own page for you plugin but adding a link to say "This module is developped by xxx, for other modules developed by other companies, take a look at [link to wiki page].
** Or, if you really need to but specific content into the community portal (with no external links, for example because you promote something really specific for your local business, not interesting for rest of the world), you can have a dedicated area into the portal to present a short description of service/product without prices, with a link to the site of your company (so a different web site not affiliated with the Dolibarr foundation) with more complete information, like long description and prices. If there is competitors for the service/product in same language than portal, then, into the dedicated area of community portal, you must offer competitors a way to request to add also their own link to their product page (but you can define that there is a sort criteria by age, so yours will be at top if you are the one that creates the community/portal). Never show any prices directly into any pages of the community portal.

'''What happens if prerequisites are no more covered, or if forbidden things are done ?'''

Dolibarr is free, everybody too, so you can still decide to discard pre-requistes or do forbidden things. We will not fight against your freedom, but keep in mind:
  −
* The trademark "Dolibarr" is a registered trademark, registered to protect the project. Do not use it to deserve project.
  −
* Dolibarr local communities are attractive because they are legitimated by all others:
  −
Dolibarr project is promoted by local communities like local portals are promoted by all others, including the Dolibarr foundation and all Dolibarr tools (the main international portal, the wiki documentation, the official dolistore.com market place, the doliforge.org external module development forge) but also by some pages inside software itself, or from a lot of other resources. If you deserve the project, the foundation may remove all backlinks toward your portal, to promote instead another team/community that does not deserve project. Local communities are strong when project is strong and project is strong when local communities are too, so every body sharing same destiny, this should never happen.
