 Here is the first official design for our GNOME Members' address card.

Are we going to have something (banners?) like this to put in our
website/blog? Maybe something like Mono contributor banner years ago?

Hi,

 What are the terms for this? Where can I find more information? Both me
 and my employer would like to put such a logo on my professional
 business cards. When doing free software things, I'm being the same
 person as when I'm doing things for customers of my employer. I'd like
 to use the same card. How does one get that explicit permission?

This is covered by typical trademark usage.

You ask for permission to use the logo for a particular purpose on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] We have a stock professional use trademark agreement
that we have worked on, and if we're OK with the professional usage you're
asking for, we'll sign the trademark agreement, then send it to you to sign,
and you're good to go.

Cheers,
Dave.

Re: Certification for GNOME apps

2005-07-13 Thread Richard M. Stallman
You know those printers or modems that have a penguin sticker that says
works with Linux?  Don't they give you a warm and fuzzy feeling?

They give me an annoyed feeling--they ought to say works with
GNU/Linux and have a gnu along with the penguin.

Whoever it was that said it's impossible to be angry when looking at a
penguin must be one of those that thinks the system is Linux.  ;-}.

 [...]certification levels for GNOME
 [...]ISVs are starting to develop GNOME-ish apps (c.f. Adobe Acrobat
 Reader).

GNOME hackers are working on free software replacements for Acrobat and many
other pieces of proprietary software.  

Telling Adobe how to improve Acrobat makes the job of the Gpdf and Evince
developers more difficult.  (plus any other GNOME pdf viewer projects.)

Is free software should be a requirement, not a level.
