Hear ye, hear ye

I hereby declare that as of the 25th of February 2010 at 11:27pm GMT+10, the TiddlyWiki powered GTD system formerly known as MonkeyGTD shall henceforth and forthwith become known primarily by it's new name, that being, mGSD. Thank you and best wishes,
Simon.

Hello Simon,

First, thank you for your enthusiasm for David Allen's Getting Things Done® (GTD®) approach.  Please know that we are big supporters of the open source environment and we applaud
your efforts in providing a free solution.

We do, however, need to bring a few things to your attention, as we would any developer (open source or revenue model) when using the GTD name:

1.  Please do not use "GTD" or "Getting Things Done" in the name of your product. These are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company, which identify our brands and products.
Maybe something like "MonkeyDo" or "MonkeyDone" would work?

2.  In using the phrases GTD and Getting Things Done in your product descriptions anywhere, please add the required registered trademark symbols(®) following the phrases GTD® and Getting Things Done®,
particularly in the first and most prominent instances of those phrases on each page.

3.  We are thrilled with the response from the developer community to create applications based on David Allen's work. We simply ask you to add the following paragraph to your website to clarify affiliation/endorsement and the source of GTD:

GTD® and Getting Things Done® are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company. (please link David Allen Company to: http://www.davidco.com) Monkey is not affiliated with or endorsed by the David Allen Company.  

I would appreciate if you would send me a quick email when you've made those changes.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We wish you all the best,

...
