Hi, As you may or may not know, we have been working on a new GNOME application, Boxes[1] that (among other things) enables users to easily manage virtual-machines. This also includes ability to detect operating-systems given an installation media and presenting an intuitive and *impressive* UI to user to easily install different operating systems with minimum or no interaction. Boxes makes use of a new library, libosinfo[2] that provides information about operating systems (which it internally keeps in an XML database). We really want (more like need) to show logos of different operating systems to the user[3]. I sent a mail[4] to Fedora legal regarding this and turns out that we can not use the logos like this unless we get explicit permission from each trademark holder. Which is why I'm writing to you folks now. Can we please get the permission to use Fedora logo in this manner and distribute it along with Boxes or libosinfo? -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome3.4 [2] https://fedorahosted.org/libosinfo/ [3] http://static.fi/~zeenix/tmp/boxes-small-iso-icons+logos.png [4] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2012-February/001828.htm
