I very much dislike the current license. I'm a debian developer, I'd like to put the debian logo on my home page, but I do *not* necessarily want to devote half or more of my home page to debian. I'd rather have pointers to the debian web site, and let debian speak for itself. Current (expired) license forbids this. I've previously raised issues about using the logo inside of packages too -- this one may be addressed by the current license, but it's certainly not clear. The logo should be a logo, it should be used to refer to or to advertise debian. It should *mean* debian. The current license isn't even *close* to filling this goal, imo. I asked on IRC about the logo license, and was basically told, "nobody cares, if we ignore the problem it will go away." A deplorable attitude, IMO, license issues are at the core of what debian is all about. The thread on -legal ends with a comment that we should take this up after revising the dfsg. I disagree *strongly*. We have free software guidelines -- some of us even feel that the ones we have are much better than any of the proposals so far. We *don't* have a reasonable license for the logo. It may not be quite as critical, but I feel it's more urgent at the moment. Debian is a free project to distribute a free OS. It should have a free logo. FREE THE LOGO!! FREE THE LOGO!! :-) cheers -- Chris Waters [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I have a truly elegant proof of the or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | above, but it is too long to fit into http://www.dsp.net/xtifr | this .signature file.
