<div dir="ltr">Actually, reading the site closely "Drupal" is reached from the menu item "Open Source/Partners" and so it is implied that Drupal is either "Open Source" (in the sense of technology, I assume) OR a "Partner" - not necessarily both. The Drupal page doesn't mention partnering with Drupal (as the MySQL page does, for example). Admittedly, the URL makes it look like it is within the "open-source" directory AND the "partners" subdirectory - but that is probably just a pathauto misconfiguration bug ;)<br>

<br>Moreover, this is common in certain industries. For example, look at any hosting company and see the partners: they list RedHat, perhaps SuSE, Intel and/or AMD, cPanel, Virtuozzo, Fantastico ...etc, and other companies they do business with. So they think "Drupal" is a product and they list it there too, like they do with Debian for example.<br>

<br>
I ran into a site which presents Drupal as a Technology Partner. Is<br>
that possible? Is that even allowed?<br>
