No, the trademark policy is pretty clear on that: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy in section 3.5. If the Mafia (in Germany a criminal organization under §129 StGB - something the Antifa does not qualify as) would create a remix of the OSM logo with their logo (if they had one) to promote the use of OSM in organized crime or promote the contribution of their members to OSM that would be perfectly fine as far as the OSMF trademark policy is concerned. One possible constraint for having a logo on the OSM wiki or having stickers with a certain logo handed out at SotM would be if that logo contains symbols that are forbidden under British law or under the local jurisdiction at the conference. I don't think this applies here regarding British law or any local law at any place where SotM has taken place in the past. For last year's SotM in Heidelberg that would for example have been cases under §86 StGB: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__86.html which does not apply to the logo in question. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
