Hi!
Sorry for the REAL long response to this thread. It took just a long
time for our lawyers to understand what we really want to do with the
MySQL AB trademark. They are so used to protect all issues regarding
their clients trademark that they don't understand that some of the

Do I need to remove it? I'd rather not, since it's just a link to point people

I've never had a doubt about the integrity of the MySQL AB approach to such

Thank you for confirming my assumption that MySQL AB is maintaining a
responsible approach in addressing this issue amid shark-infested waters.
As always, I offer my

I'm using MySQL to do a site for the U.S. Army, but I am not allowed to
put the logo up as it would be considered an endorsement of a commercial
product, which is a major no-no.
And I'd like so much to do it. I'm thinking of a way, but I'll have to
This is just a WAG ... but do you suppose this is a result of the flap with

Does that make any sense? I'm not trying to slam MySQL, I'm just concerned

Why not get MySQL to make a series of slightly different logos you can
choose from like Sun and other companies do. Some are colour, others
greyscale, and some are inverse for placement on black backgrounds.
