Jenkins Sublicense Agreement, you should still attribute ownership of the mark to

For each web page, advertisement, or publication, the first prominent
appearance of "Jenkins" should feature the "circle R" character adjacent to the "s",
as follows:
Jenkins(R)
At the end of your web page, advertisement, publication or media broadcast,
include the following text in a legible font and size:

==== Attribution for Sublicensees
The Jenkins Sublicense Agreement sets forth how the mark should be attributed by
sublicensees. Sublicensees are required to place the following legend
conspicuously on each piece of authorized goods, and at least once in the area
of the title page of any documentation or sales literature accompanying each
authorized good or service:

Jenkins project and Software in the Public Interest, Inc.

The Jenkins project understands that space limitations can make including these
attributions difficult. When made necessary by space limitations, any
reasonable facsimile of these attributions may be used. In case of doubt as to
the proper shortened form, examples may be submitted to the Jenkins project for
approval.
