 * You’ll need to contact `plugins (at) wordpress (dot) org` about something like
   that.

 * I got next answer:
    Your plugin has been rejected because you do not appear to
   work for or legally represent Facebook
 * We’re no longer accepting plugins that begin with (or are in total) a trademarked
   product name or term as the name or slug of a plugin (ex: facebook or google-
   maps-bathrooms). Nor are we accepting plugins that include the name of another
   plugin at the beginning of the name/slug (eg: contact-form-7-music).
 * The slug for your plugin is generated based on the name you enter on the app 
   plugin page, with hypens inserted in place of spaces. This means if you were 
   to name your plugin “My Really Cool Cookie Jam” then your URL on WordPress.org
   would be [http://wordpress.org/plugins/my-really-cool-cookie-jam](http://wordpress.org/plugins/my-really-cool-cookie-jam)
 * This becomes a larger issue when plugins use the names of other plugins in their
   own.
 * For example, if you have written an add-on plugin for WooCommerce, you may not
   name it “WooCommerce Improved Product Search” as that would generate the slug“
   woocommerce-improved-product-search” and that would conflict with the trademark
   of ‘WooCommerce.’ That said, it would be acceptable to submit the name “Woo Improved
   Product Search” which would use the slug “woo-improved-product-search” (woo not
   being trademarked you see).
 * As another example, if you have a plugin that integrates a service with a Easy
   Digital Downloads, you may call it “My Service Integration for Easy Digital Downloads”,
   but you may not use “Easy Digital Downloads – My Service Integration”. Alternately
   you could use ‘EDD My Service Integration’ and that too would be permitted.
 * None of this impacts your display name of your plugin. The display name is generated
   from your readme.txt, and that can be whatever you’d like. Keep in mind, you 
   should use “My Product for Other Product” as the description. Consider the example
   of Keurig. If you made an eco-friendly brew cup, you could market it “EcoBrew
   Pod for Keurig” but you could NOT attempt to market it as “Keurig EcoBrew Pod.”
   The latter implies a direct relationship to Keurig and may be against the law
   in some countries.
 * You are more than welcome, and encouraged, to include it in the description of
   the plugin in the ReadMe.txt file, but it cannot be in the name/slug of the plugin
   as described above.
 * Please resubmit this plugin with a better name and we will review it. If you’re
   confused and want to check a name before resubmitting, just reply to this and
   ask
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/add/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/add/)
 * (FYI – If this is incorrect and you DO work for that company or were legally 
   hired to represent it in a developer capacity, please reply to this email and
   explain that to us. We base this decision off your email and the plugin’s download
   link, among other things, so if you’re using your personal gmail account and 
   dropbox, that’s PROBABLY why you got this. Hint hint )
