Referencing Solid without breaking any Licensing issues
I am making a closed-source app using Tauri and SolidJS. In my
Settings section, I want to make an About sub-section where the users can donate to me and several other open-source frameworks using my app.
I want to make a section for Solid, but that would mean I would have to use the logo and mention the company's name.
I was wondering: would there be any legal/trademark issue I could incur from this?
Is there a preferred style for crediting SolidJS that I should know? I'm thinking of using:
- The logo
- The company name
- Their cause and how I used their framework
- A button to donate to the company
Although I'm open to change if the preference is that way.
Unfortunately I don't have the funds to approach a lawyer, so I appreciate any kind of help regarding this matter from the community.
Hopefully then I can add a SolidJS section for consumers to donate.3 Replies

Thanks for reaching out. Solid doesn’t have a corporate entity. The rights and trademark secured to protect the name and logo are Ryan’s trademark and copyright directly. I can however assure you that you would be granted the right to display solid’s name and project title as long as you link to our OpenCollective directly. Thank you for asking before proceeding, but rest assured this is a non-issue.
That's great to hear! Thank you for informing me about it, I really appreciate it!
