All previous rules apply as well with the word "Dolibarr" as with the word "Dolibarr" that would have doubled letters (2 o, 3 b, ...) or 1 letter deleted (deletion of i, only 1 r, ...). The use of such a word is not allowed because too close to the word suggesting that it is the official project (but with a typo). In general, the laws of almost all countries in the world protect the mark from this kind of manipulation.

[[File:warning.png]] Note: the most influential and popular actors of the Dolibarr ecosystem become the most popular because their brand is clearly displayed as an "actor" or "partner" of Dolibarr but with a visual identity and a name of their own. Thus the actors who get the most out of the game are those who do not use the word "Dolibarr" at all, neither in their domain name, nor in the name of their brand or company. This is no coincidence. Stand out to be visible and not be assimilated by search engines to a copy!
