Small bitmap Nintendo logo in package

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
a package on review includes a small (48 bytes) bitmap of the Nintendo logo [0]. The author of the package claims that:

> This bitmap must be present in the ROM in order for the console to
> boot into the game.  It is my understanding the presence of the logo,
> when it's required to pass hardware restrictions, is not a trademark
> violation, rather, it deemed fair use in the US (see [1]), but IANAL.

Is this acceptable in Fedora?

Note that the package is not an emulator, but a compiler/linker.
