To also make a bit clear how this threat is real, do a search for "gnome stolen logo." The GNOME project has for many years now made the SVG source for their logo freely available (I was involved in creating the brandbook for them.) This has led to the logo being abused in a number of ways, including being used as a logo for a company that makes game controllers in China and various websites and technology-related companies. Despite stricter processes in place to help protect the logo, Fedora is also encountering some issues, see http://paul.frields.org/?p=3362 . That being said, the Fedora remix mark is under a more open license. Also our design team right here is very open & transparent and willing to help with any logo-related issues. ~m _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
