You may include static images, links, and promotional text in the documentation or issues associated with projects in your Account, but they must be related to the projects you are hosting on CodeLinaro. You may not advertise in other Users' projects, such as by posting monetized or excessive bulk content in issues.

You may not promote or distribute content or activity that is illegal or otherwise prohibited by the CodeLinaro Terms of Service, CodeLinaro Community Guidelines, or CodeLinaro Acceptable Use Policies, including excessive automated bulk activity (for example, spamming), get-rich-quick schemes, and misrepresentation or deception related to your promotion.

If you decide to post any promotional materials in your Account, you are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guidelines on Endorsements and Testimonials. We reserve the right to remove any promotional materials or advertisements that, in our sole discretion, violate any CodeLinaro terms or policies.
