Where is the swirl? Can someone put up a screenshot or scan of it, please? > He wants to represent Debian in some sort of legal action. > > Is this something Debian pursues? I think the answer is 'it depends'. It sounds like the trademark is not infringed in this case (it's not even about software), so that leaves the copyright, perhaps. It has been claimed that the swirl is not very difficult to create independently, so this may not be worth pursuing. If it was used about software, or they'd used the Official Use (bottle) logo, that would be more likely to be chased IMO.
