Actually, that is not the rule for logos. The ASF has a policy posted about this and other related issues on this page:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ To quote from there: "You needn't ask us for permission to use Apache's graphics logos (the versions published on individual project's websites) on your own website solely as a hyperlink to the specific Apache project website or to www.apache.org. All other uses of Apache Foo (and similar) graphic logos must be approved in writing by VP, Apache Brand Management or a designee. Unlike ASF's word trademarks (such as "Apache" and "Foo"), our graphic logos are also licensed to the public under the Apache License. That license permits you to create derivative works of those logos, as with any other Apache copyrighted work. However, trademark law does not allow you to apply any "confusingly similar" derivative logo to software if a relevant consumer would likely be confused by that use of that derivative logo." -David On Mar 6, 2010, at 4:26 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > Anil, Hans, > > As suggested Adrian, if we share it we could decide it the official Twetter > channel.
