I'm afraid my google-fu is failing me and I cannot find if we have specific legal advice on including trademarked operating system logos (eg. the Windows logo[1] or the FreeBSD logo[2]) in Fedora packages. The nearest I can find is this advice on xbill -- use rejected because xbill was *disparaging* the Windows OS: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2009-February/000547.html My proposed use is in a graphical program that identifies different virtual machine operating systems, so the use would just be informative, not disparaging. These logos are of course not Free because there are restrictions on both field of use and modification. On the other hand, we distribute things like GFDL documentation, the Firefox logo, and firmware which also has limits. Apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious in the wiki: there's plenty of talk about using the *Fedora* logo in the right way, but nothing I can find about using other logos ... Rich.
