I think "fair" kind of implies "mention everyone" already, but okay, more clarity is better :)

Actually I think "all vendors" is too strong; we should be allowed to exclude vendors we think are spammy or scammy.

"all vendors which provide EOL support" is meant as "all vendors which are part of the open-source sustainability initiative", I believe. I agree we want to avoid spammy/scummy vendors, but if these manage to be part of that initiative, we've failed elsewhere...

"all vendors which provide EOL support" is meant as "all vendors which are part of the open-source sustainability initiative", I believe.

If that's what it means then that's what it should say, no?

**Partner support references:**
Projects are not required to name individual OSSI partners on project pages. A link to the Foundation’s OSSI page is sufficient.
If a project chooses to reference individual partners, it should do so in a fair and non-misleading manner consistent with the Foundation’s Trademark Policy and Code of Conduct.
If a project chooses to reference an individual partner, then the project must reference all vendors which provide EOL support in a fair and non-misleading manner consistent with the Foundation’s Trademark Policy and Code of Conduct.

Using the suggestion feature on behalf of Gavin...

Suggested change
If a project chooses to reference an individual partner, then the project must reference all vendors which provide EOL support in a fair and non-misleading manner consistent with the Foundation’s Trademark Policy and Code of Conduct.
If a project chooses to reference an individual partner, then the project must reference all vendors part of the open-source sustainability initiative which provide EOL support for this project in a fair and non-misleading manner consistent with the Foundation’s Trademark Policy and Code of Conduct.
