I'm developing a non-free library and I want to use Bcrypt.Net in it. The clause in question:
- Neither the name of BCrypt.Net nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
To what extent does this mean I can't use the name of Bcrypt.Net? For instance, could I say "the only ASP.Net authentication library capable of using Bcrypt" or can I even include "supports Bcrypt for password hashing" in promotional materials?
Note: I do not actually modify any of Bcrypt.Net's code
