Thanks for your kind words :)

Should you wish to contribute back, you could:

Install and enable the popularity-contest package on your servers.
This helps us determine which packages are actually used.

http://popcon.debian.org/README
http://popcon.debian.org/FAQ

Install the devscripts package on your servers, regularly run the
rc-alert, wnpp-alert and manpage-alert scripts and get involved in
fixing single issues as you have time.

Install the debsecan package, read the resulting mails about security
issues on your servers and get involved in fixing them.

Donate some money or hardware:

Thanks for the report.  As already noted, that logo is "open-use", you
can use it for pretty much anything.

Beyond that, it is an unfortunate fact that our open logo is _very_
similar to a custom brush shape shipped in Adobe Photoshop.  (Our logo
was chosen in a public contest; I suspect if anyone had noticed this
when we chose the logo, we would have disqualified it.)  The Photoshop
brush probably explains many instances of "borrowing": other people
incorporate the same Photoshop brush into their own graphic designs and
logos.

Appreciation

2011-09-29 Thread Lewis Gunsch
Hi,

I would like to just say thanks for creating such an awesome OS! I have used
Debian for years as a server. I know that I can count on it to be up and
running with minor maintenance for many years! It has been stable, reliable,
and I have been able to count on it working. I much appreciate this; I can
proudly run my Debian servers without worry.

Cheers,
~Lewis


Re: Logo violation

2011-09-29 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
just for the information:  it is ok to use debian openlogo for any
purpose -- it is under open license
http://www.debian.org/logos/
it is just that copyright needs to be mentioned somewhere I guess.

as for trademark infringement , the Debian openlogo itself is not
trademarked IIRC so once again could be used for any commercial product
as long as the word Debian (trademarked) doesn't appear.
