D. No Damaging Use. The Restricted Use Logo may not be displayed on any website that disparages the OpenStack Foundation, the OpenStack project or OpenStack technology, infringes any the OpenStack Foundation intellectual property, or on any site that contains pornographic, scandalous, or which contains, in the opinion of the OpenStack Foundation, otherwise objectionable or illegal content.

E. Limited Use. You acknowledge and agree that all rights and interest in the Restricted Use Logos and Word Mark are owned by the OpenStack Foundation and agree not register or seek to register in any country any OpenStack Marks or any term comprised or consisting of in whole or in part the OpenStack Word Mark or any confusingly similar mark as trademarks, service marks, corporate names, trade names or domain names, Internet keywords, metatags, or trigger words to lead to a website or other Internet destination.
