We get regular requests from individuals and companies that want to add a link to the AOO download, and to use the logo with it. These range from websites of individual users, to websites that aggregate download links for many open source projects.
Currently, requesting and receiving such permission requires a request to the PMC, approval and then additional approval by the Apache VP Branding. I'd like to propose a streamlined approach where we can give blanket permission, without an additional request, for using a specific logo (the one that Drew designed) for a specific download situation. If there are no objections from the PMC, and we get a +1 from Trademarks@, I'll write this up on the website. =Use of the Apache OpenOffice Download Promotion Logo= Anyone, without additional permission from this project, may use the following logo subject to the following conditions: The logo: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27834483/get-aoo-300x100-cf.png?version=1&modificationDate=1331970198000 [NB. We should move this to a more memorable location] Conditions: 1. The logo may not be modified except to resize it. If translations of the "Get it here!" text are required, send a request to the ooo-dev list and we can provide a translated version for you. 2. The image must be linked to one of: a) the http://www.openoffice.org webpage b) one of the official Native Language pages at openoffice.org, e.g., http://de.openoffice.org c) the download page for Apache OpenOffice: http://download.openoffice.org or http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html 3. The logo must not link to a specific download file or mirror. This causes problems with load balancing and fallbacks and may prevent users from getting the latest version of OpenOffice. 4. Any use Apache-owned logos beyond the above is not covered by this program an must be explicitly requested from the ASF.
