Usage of Solus in indie feature movie

Jakub

Hello everyone!
I'm totally new in Solus and Linux at all. I get here looking for system that looks similar to Windows, and being very estethic in it's own way. I' taking part in indie feature movie as a visual fx suprevisor and I'm looking for system that we can run on computers that will take part of our shoots.
I'm wondering if it is legit to use Solus in the movie, or tv show and if yes, what legal conditions must be respected.

Greetings from Poland!

The terms of the branding are here: https://getsol.us/branding/

If you can tell tell me a little bit more about your movie, I can talk to the rest of the team about whether or not we are comfortable with the use of our logo and things.

@DataDrake thank you for reply and link, I will get to know with documentation and forward it to producers.

I can't say to much about the movie, as it is confidential for now. What is important the plot include some hacker activity. Also a big part of action happens on computers and smartphones screens.

I will PM you after consulting it with others.

With some care, the movie's screenshots can avoid displaying Solus logos and other branding -- for example, the terminal, the text editor, and most applications display no Solus branding. You might want to avoid using the standard desktop backgrounds. The trick is to avoid screenshots that identify Solus. I'm glad you are working with the Solus team to avoid copyright violations. I hope that the movie is a success.

I hope this can be done in a way that doesn't give viewers the impression that Solus is a popular hacking tool.

EDIT: It would be good if Solus were shown in use by "good guys" as well as criminals.
