OK, but what is the permissible use of AOO? Can I make and publish a screenshot of the startup window of AOO? Is this a legal Screenshot: http://i.computer-bild.de/imgs/5/7/2/2/8/8/0/Neue-Version-von-OpenOffice-4-1-kommt -mit-einigen-neuen-Funktionen-Das-1024x576-651d0e41862ce7fc.jpg
I wouldn't object to it, even though, as everybody knows, I'm not a lawyer. Our policy (see link I sent) already covers this case, including screenshots containing a trademark.
And if I may, can I just (unedited!) Publish parts of the screenshots? And if I may, why then not just the section of the screenshots, the only logo includes?
The only possible answer for similar cases is "it depends". And it is a legitimate answer. There is a boundary between being fair (by the way, there is also the so-called "nominative use" that comes into play here) and being "too smart". And, as it happens for laws, interpretation can be controversial, otherwise all lawyers would be unemployed! So this cases can be addressed only when the concrete scenario occurs.
