"Uses of the term Ada other than those described above, including all organizations, companies and product names incorporating or utilizing the term Ada, need written authorization from the AJPO. Those persons advertising or otherwise promoting a language processor asserted as being a standard Ada processor for sale or public use are required to provide the AJPO with evidence sufficient to demonstrate conformance to the Ada standard. "Use of the trademark does not imply any endorsement or warranty of the product by either DoD or ANSI. "The Department of Defense (DoD), as the trademark owner, will allow others to use the Ada trademark free of charge and will not take action to prevent use of the trademark so long as the trademark is used properly according to the above policy.
