If you have more specific information about the kind of licenses for logos which would allow to protect trademarks while allowing free modifications, I would interested to know that.


IANAL; I'm not sure releasing a file (a png for example) under the GPL
gives away your right to protect the trademark. This is what Larry
Rosen's comment on that linux.com article seems to imply.

It's unclear who's right. I've heard arguments from other lawyers that the GPL simply cannot apply to images as the GPL itself explicitly refers to "source code" and its arguable whether an image is (I don't personally think images are source code, but a lawyer I am not). A license that better serves images such as a CC license might work best.
