Re: Logo violation
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.

There is no relation at all with Debian on this website, no reference to the logo source etc. Here's the link : http://www.ellestournent-damesdraaien.org/ Maybe a good idea if an official Debian team member contact them about that.

[Alain Belkadi] Maybe not the right place to send this info but someone is using the Debian Logo on a film festival website. 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. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
